Policy Documents and Reports
This page contains information regarding Casa’s policies and regulations, school inspection reports and other relevant documents.
School Handbook
The Handbook contains useful information about Casa. It allows you – the parent – to see what you can expect of Casa and its teachers, and what they can offer your child. The Handbook also informs the parents and students as to what Casa (and its teachers and staff) expect in return.
This document is mandatory for schools and is updated annually.
Health and Safety Policy
What are Casa’s goals, and how do we aim to achieve them? Our policy contains guidelines and processes to aid us in providing and maintaining a safe and restful environment for the children. This is exceptionally important for their future growth and development.
This document is mandatory for child care for 3 year olds and after school care and is updated annually.
Inspection Reports
Results from the Inspection of Education (in Dutch):
The Landelijk Register Kinderopvang website has overviews of all reports (Dutch Only) for all our locations.
Complaints Procedure
The Casa complaints procedure allows both parents and Casa staff to effectively mediate and resolve disputes or problems in a timely fashion. The procedure is maintained by Casa’s management.
Though the Casa staff does it utmost to provide you and your children with the level of attention and care you deserve, it is possible for disputes to arise. Any time people work together, tensions and disagreements can occur. These can happen between students and parents and teachers and school staff, in myriad combinations. If you are not satisfied with, or have questions regarding specific teachers, Casa school policies or events, please take the time to inform us. This allows Casa staff an opportunity to work together with you and reach a solution or compromise.
Should you wish to lodge a complaint, please contact the Casa School Management – Tessa Wessels. You may also direct your questions or complaints to Marloes Houkes or Jeanet Bossche, Casa School’s designated points of contact for disputes.
We are a firm believer in allowing the multiple sides of a dispute to come to a solution or compromise, especially if the disagreement is regarding the conduct or behaviour of an individual. In the unlikely and unhappy event that no compromise or solution was reached, or you are not satisfied with the proposed course of action, it is possible to lodge a formal complaint.
This can be done via verbal report accompanied with a written complaint directly to the management team of Casa, or via a written complaint to the Casa Board of Directors. Please find Casa’s Complaint Procedures detailed in the following attachment.
