In the Netherlands, there is no unified system of preschool education. This is due to the fact that children go to school quite early, starting from the age of four. Up to this age, parents can bring their children to care centers or private kindergartens. Care centers, where children's leisure activities are organized from the age of 3 months, can be an alternative to extended day groups for schoolchildren. In such establishments there is no hot food, but snacks with fruit and sandwiches are organized.

The convenient location of Holland allows students to actively travel, get acquainted with European culture and combine education with comprehensive development.
