Support for expat children in the Netherlands: How RondomLeren helps them thrive

Moving to a new country can be both exciting and challenging, especially for families with children. In the Netherlands, expat families often face the challenge of helping their children adapt to a new education system, language, and culture. At RondomLeren, we recognize these challenges and offer tailored services that support children in making a smooth transition, both cognitively and emotionally.

Understanding the unique needs of expat children

Expat children often experience a mix of emotions: excitement for new opportunities, but also anxiety about adjusting to a different school environment, making new friends, and dealing with a language they may not yet speak fluently. These children may need extra support in language development, cultural integration, and personalized learning strategies to ensure they do not fall behind.

Language support: A key focus

For expat families, one of the most immediate obstacles is the language barrier. Whether a child is attending an international school or a Dutch school, mastering the Dutch language is often an essential part of their integration. RondomLeren offers customized tutoring sessions to help children develop their Dutch language skills.

Personalized tutoringsessions and learning support

Every child learns differently, and expat children often require an individualized approach to thrive in school in the Netherlands. RondomLeren provides one-on-one remedial teaching tailored to the unique needs of each child.

Emotional and social support: Helping children adjust

Academic success is only part of the story. Moving to a new country can also take a toll on a child’s emotional and social well-being. At RondomLeren, we offer child coaching focused on helping children adapt to their new environment. Our coaches work closely with children to address common challenges such as homesickness, loneliness, and social integration.

By providing a safe space for them to express their feelings, our child coaches help expat children build resilience, develop coping strategies, and increase their self-confidence. This emotional support is crucial not only for academic success but also for feeling happy and connected in their new home.

Specialized services: Support for learning disabilities

For some expat children, adjusting to a new school system can be even more challenging if they have learning disabilities such as dyslexia or ADHD. RondomLeren offers specialized services to help children with learning difficulties thrive. Our expert team is trained to identify and support children with dyslexia, ADHD, dyscalculia, and other learning disabilities, ensuring they receive the accommodations and customized strategies they need to succeed.

We work closely with both parents and schools to create a consistent support system so that the child’s learning needs are met in every environment.

Helping expat children thrive

Moving to a new country is a significant change in any child’s life, and the support they receive during this transition can make all the difference. RondomLeren is committed to helping expat children not only succeed academically but also feel at home in the Netherlands. With our remedial teaching, emotional coaching, and specialized services for learning disabilities, we ensure that every child has the tools they need to thrive.
