Daycare level plan

That's what it's all about

You have probably already heard about this.
The daycare centers have too few staff.
This is a big problem
for the daycare centers , but also for you.
Because you and your child need
daycare.
For example
because you have to work.
It is important for you

  • when your child can come to the daycare center
  • how long the child
    can stay in the daycare center each day.

We have made a plan so that you always know exactly
.
We call it the step-by-step plan.
The step-by-step plan

  • is in this letter
  • is displayed in the daycare center.

Here we explain the step-by-step plan.


  • We need your help

    We need your help so that we can plan well

    We need to know about you:

    • When does your child have to be
      at daycare?
    • When can you perhaps pick up the child
      earlier?

    We have made a form.
    The form is called self-disclosure.
    The form is also in this letter.
    Please complete the self-disclosure.
    Then hand in the self-disclosure
    in the group.

    Attention:
    Please tell the daycare center management immediately
    if something changes.
    For example
    if you have to work longer.
    We may then have to change our plan
    .

  • This is the most important time

    The most important time is
    from 9 am to 2.30 pm.


    Because then
    many parents have to work.
    During this time, all children
    should be able to come to the daycare center.
    Even if we have few staff.
    If we have very few staff:
    Then perhapsnot all children can stay in the daycare center in the afternoon
    .

  • Your daycare center is in level 1

    If your daycare center is in level 1:
    Then everything is the same for you and your child
    .
    The times at the daycare center
    do not change.

  • Your daycare center is in level 2

    If your daycare center is in level 2:
    The daycare center has problems.
    But we still try
    that all children can come.
    So probably
    nothing will change for your child.

    But:
    You will already receive a letter
    with information about stage 3.
    The letter will tell you
    what will change for your child in stage 3.
    So you can better prepare for the
    changes.

    Important:
    When there is more staff again
    everything is the same as before

  • Your daycare center is in level 3

    If your daycare center is in level 3:
    Then the daycare center
    no longer has enough staff.
    This means:
    Not all children
    can stay in the daycare center all day.

    The daycare center management looks at
    the self-disclosure of all children.
    Then the daycare center management decides.
    It will then be like this:
    Some children can stay the whole day as usual
    .
    Maybe because their parents
    both have to work.
    But other children have to be picked up
    earlier.
    Because there is not enough staff
    for all children.
    Most of the time this works.

    But if too many children
    need care all day:
    Then the groups must close in the afternoon
    alternately for a week.
    This means, for example:
    In the first week, your child
    can also stay at the daycare center in the afternoon.
    But not the next week.
    In the week after that, your child
    can stay at the daycare center again.
    We call this the alternating model.

  • Your daycare center is in level 4

    If your daycare center is in level 4:
    Then the daycare center closes for all
    at 2:30 p.m.
    There may be
    emergency care.
    If you need
    emergency care:
    Please ask the daycare center management

  • Your daycare center is in level 5

    If your daycare center is in level 5:
    Then the daycare center has
    shorter opening hours every day.
    For example, only until 12 noon.
    There may then also be a
    alternating model for whole days.
    This means, for example:
    Your child can only go to the daycare center every 2nd week
    .
    Or the daycare center
    is closed for a week.

  • Your daycare center is in level 6

    If your daycare center is in level 6:
    Then we have to close the daycare center.


  • New staff

    We would very much like
    more educatorsto work for us.
    But unfortunately there aren't any at the moment.
    That's why we thought of something:
    There are definitely people
    who like to look after our children.
    Even if they haven't learned the profession of educator
    .

    We would like to work
    with these people.
    But the government
    has to allow us to do so first.
    We are waiting for that.

  • This is important to us

    This situation
    is very difficult for everyone.
    Especially for you as parents.
    But also for the staff
    in the daycare centers.
    Because the educators often have to work
    much more than usual.

    This is the most important thing:
    The children must not
    suffer from the situation.
    We are doing everything
    to ensure this and ask for your understanding.
