How We Work

A mentor for every child

At Vipkids, we believe that every child deserves to develop at their own pace. To provide optimal guidance for this, every child is assigned their own mentor.

What does the mentor do?

The mentor is a trusted pedagogical professional who works in your child's group. Because the mentor sees your child daily and really gets to know them, she can closely monitor their development and well-being. The main tasks of our mentors are:
  • Contact person for parents: The mentor is your first point of contact for substantive questions regarding your child's growth, enjoyment, and development.
  • Monitoring the development: With ZIKO (Self-Evaluation Instrument for Child and Organization), the mentor maps out your child's progress and needs.
  • Personal attention: The mentor ensures that your child receives the specific guidance they need, whether that is an extra challenge or just a little more support in certain areas.

Moments of contact

Contact with the mentor begins early:

  • Introduction:During the first meeting, you will be informed who your child's mentor will be.
  • Adjustment period:The mentor regularly evaluates how the settling-in period is progressing together with you.
  • Periodic consultations: You can always request a meeting to discuss your child's progress in detail.
At Vipkids, we ensure that, in addition to the mentor, all staff members in the group are involved, so that your child always feels surrounded by familiar and loving faces.

Security and trust

We consider it very important to create an atmosphere of safety and trust within the group. First and foremost, the group's pedagogical staff play a key role in this. Your child is cared for by dedicated pedagogical staff. This allows your child to bond with them and gain confidence. Only when your child feels secure can they truly develop.

If the pedagogical staff member is ill or on vacation, this is covered within the location as much as possible.
