Stronger Together

Stronger Together is a programme we’re running for kids and teens 8-16 years old with special and intensive care needs in Amsterdam. These special kids are invited for an inclusive, creative and interactive afternoon in a fun and safe environment with experienced childcare providers! 

What to Expect?

We provide a safe space for kids to engage in appropriate activities for their individual learning levels and with experienced child-minders and a lead ‘kids coach’. It’s a unique opportunity for these children to connect and make new friends, try new things and become a part of our growing community.

The programme of activities is decided after registration of the group to ensure it fits with the interests of who is attending. Examples of activities include different stations with arts and crafts, music and movement, sports in the gym, games and cooking. 

It’s also an opportunity for parents and carers to get a much-deserved break and expand their community of support! Parents are also very welcome to stay and participate in the activities with their child or leave them on their own to explore.
