Does your child have additional care needs? Then he or she can play after school at a BSO for children with extra support needs. This out-of-school care is set up to supervise children aged 4 to 12 with additional care needs. Kibeo works together with Juvent for this. Children who come to after-school care sometimes need extra care and attention because they have behavioral problems, social-emotional problems or an intellectual disability. For example, they find it difficult to establish or maintain contact with children or to express what concerns them or what they feel.
Why choose a BSO with extra support?
- Small groups
- Fun, group-oriented activities
- A lot of attention for one-on-one guidance
- Specialized pedagogical professionals
- Close cooperation between parents, school and BSO
- Additional support from a Juvent behavioral expert
What is the goal?
The BSO with extra support is aimed at spending free time in a fun, structured and meaningful way and increasing social-emotional skills. This low-threshold form of guidance means that your child receives extra care at an early stage, which means that more serious problems and more intensive forms of help can often be prevented.
How does it work?
The group is staffed by a pedagogical professional from Kibeo and Juvent. They receive support from a behavioral specialist from Juvent. The groups are smaller than regular after-school care groups; a maximum of 12 children can be accommodated. In addition to a group-oriented approach, there is ample attention for one-on-one support. There is close collaboration between the school, parents, and the after-school care center.
Fun
There are fun activities every day. The day is predictable, which makes your child feel safe in this environment. In addition, the space is quietly decorated and there are fixed play areas.
Trusted
The focus is on emphasizing your child's good qualities. A positive approach encourages your son or daughter to show positive behavior. Your child can also follow social and emotional skills training in groups.
Who is the BSO with extra support for?
The BSO is there for all children who need a helping hand, not just for children from De Tweern or De Meie. The costs are the same as for the regular BSO. In many cases, parents can get the costs reimbursed if they have an indication from the CIZ. Or you may be able to apply for a contribution towards the costs of after-school care via the tax authorities in the context of the Childcare Act. The Customer Relations department can tell you all about this.
