Experts of the child

Every day, we work on the development of over 11.000 children in West Brabant. Our team, in close contact with parents, identifies issues related to parenting, growth, and development. We use these insights to promote the well-being of children and their families.

'At Kober my child gets every opportunity to develop.'

Our focus is on stimulating children's broad development with a flexible approach that adapts to changing needs. Through continuous innovation, based on science and practical experience, we improve our locations, our services, and the expertise of our team. In this way, we support not only children and parents but also local organizations with valuable insights and guidance. By continuing to learn and collaborate with partners in government, education, and healthcare, we strengthen our contribution to the starting opportunities of every child in the region.

Our Koberhuis

Our Kober course is built on our foundation: our pedagogical principles. These principles, along with our mission, vision, and brand promises, are enshrined in our Kober House.

Child development

The child in sight

We are committed to optimal development for every child, from the very youngest to those already in school. To give children a good start, we ensure we understand their needs from the very beginning. This starts with truly knowing who they are, paying attention to their talents, interests, and challenges.

Every child is special

Optimal doesn't mean children have to "meet an average." We believe it's much more about giving children the (self)confidence to do what they excel at and helping them when something requires extra attention. We view development as a winding path. Every child is unique in this respect. We are here to offer children a pleasant, warm, and optimistic environment. A loving and rich pedagogical developmental environment in which we help children grow. We also collaborate as much as possible with education, healthcare and welfare, culture, and sports. We prefer to do this under one roof where our knowledge and expertise converge. Everything is focused on a good start and healthy growth.

Social added value

Kober in the neighborhood

We're here for all children. Growing up sounds like a given, but unfortunately, that's not always the case. That's why we want to offer all children in the region a place where they feel at home, are seen, and can develop freely. With our 200 locations, we're increasingly able to be close to most parents.

In the middle of the neighborhood

We understand better than anyone that every city, neighborhood, or district is unique. This also means that every city has (or can have) different needs for child development and childcare. That's why we like to be at the heart of the community. Using data and our own and our partners' knowledge, we map out how we can be of value to parents and their children. This way, we keep pace with developments in the community.

Caring for growing children doesn't stop at our front door. Where needed, we stand by parents – as partners in parenting. We certainly can't do this alone. We work closely with specialists in (youth) care and welfare.

Sustainability

Comber green

We're taking steps to become a green childcare organization. We're doing this by striving for the greenest possible housing and reducing our ecological footprint. We also take a broader view of sustainability. For us, it also means being good to the people we work with – our colleagues, but also our partners.

Investing in long-term relationships

At Kober, our employees are our greatest asset. Happy employees make for happy children. This is only possible if colleagues feel comfortable and well. It starts with taking the time to truly get to know each other. Providing space for personal development. Working together to achieve something. This requires us to ensure a healthy and professional organization you can count on. We can only achieve a sustainable environment with our strategic partners. We prefer to collaborate with companies and organizations that share our mindset and want to contribute sustainably to the comprehensive development of every child. We invest in our relationships for the long term.
