Growth in childcare with tailor-made solutions
Esmay van Helmont has been working at Nummer een for three years , since this year as a Junior Team Coach. In collaboration with Knowhouse , we at Summa & Bedrijf provide various customized online training courses to Nummereen. Esmay has already taken many of these. “Because you take the training together, you can brainstorm and learn a lot from each other.”
With our customized training programs, we ensure that childcare professionals like Esmay continue to develop. "I'm always excited when a new training program is offered. I believe it's important to continue developing myself within my work. And because the training is offered online, I can decide when and how I complete it. This allows me to plan it effectively, alongside my work and personal life."
Online platform
The training courses are offered through the digital social learning platform Knowhouse. When you log in, you see what each week will look like, what's expected, and what the training objective is. A training course always consists of several levels that you complete each week. You follow each level according to a schedule, allowing you to collaborate, brainstorm, and see each other's ideas. This way, you continue to learn from each other, even though it's online. The theory is presented in various formats. It often involves a mix of articles, videos, and in-depth questions. For example, they ask how certain things work at your location. This ensures you put theory into practice.
Very recognizable in practice
The latest training I attended was 'Connect with Cultures'. It is a very relevant topic because you deal with children and parents from diverse backgrounds. In eight weeks, I learned more about conducting conversations with parents and connecting with children from other cultures. The training was very applicable and relatable in practice. The theory really stuck with me, and I have already been able to apply much of it in my work. You become aware of your own frame of reference and look with genuine curiosity at how things can be improved. This yields wonderful results in practice. The training is truly an enrichment if you work with a toddler group.
