Pedagogical coaches have been working in the childcare sector since 2021. How is their work organised in practice, and how do they experience their assignments?
The Interreg 2 Seas project 'Providing Access to Childcare and Employment' (PACE) aimed at increasing access to childcare and to the labor market for unemployed parents.
Access to childcare from an early age is an important lever in ensuring equal opportunities for all young families. A new Flemish framework decree defines the regulations within which this accessibility should take shape.
A climate where positive relationships are central and where there is attention to rich and understandable language provision is essential for young children's development. The research project 'In Dialogue About Language' explored how child supervisors in pre-school childcare can be supported to apply language-stimulating advice in their daily interactions with young children.
With the decree 'Care for babies and toddlers', the Flemish Government wants to create a supply of 'high-quality and affordable care places within a reasonable time and distance'.
