Kinderopvang Huizen believes it is important that staff members are able to respond well to the needs of the child and that they offer the children a place where they can develop optimally. The quality of childcare is largely determined by the pedagogical staff members. Therefore, we pay continuous attention to the development and support of our staff in pedagogical matters. Therefore, starting in 2019, we will start with a Pedagogical Policy Officer and a Pedagogical Coach.
The Pedagogical Policy Officer focuses on updating, (further) developing, translating and implementing the pedagogical policy within Kinderopvang Huizen. She monitors and secures the implementation of the pedagogical policy and translates it into work practice by developing concrete activities, methods and tools, among other things. The hours available for the pedagogical policy officer are deployed centrally so that each site works from the same vision and policy. Within the frameworks, an employee has room to implement the policy as he or she sees fit.
Our Pedagogical Coach focuses on improving the pedagogical quality of services and the professional development of pedagogical staff. The Pedagogical Coach serves as the lynchpin between the pedagogical policy and its implementation. She supervises, coaches and stimulates the staff’s development process in the pedagogical field.
