Parent Committee

Parents participate in Home from Home

At Thuis van Huis, we believe it's important that parents feel involved in their child's care. Our parent committee gives parents a voice in our policies and ensures that we continue to work together to provide safe, reliable, and caring childcare.



We believe that the best childcare is created when parents, childminders, and our agency work together as one team – with one goal: to give children a place where they feel at home.

What does the parent committee do?

The parent committee consists of parents who use childcare through our agency. They contribute ideas on topics that are important to all families.

Their advice helps us make choices that are fair, transparent and well-founded.
