## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — A good school, but some areas for improvement: We've been at 't Schommelbootje for a few months now, and overall, we're pleased with the experience. The school's commitment to sustainability and environmentalism is admirable, and the facilities are well-maintained. However, we've had some issues with communication and consistency, which has caused some frustration. We're hoping that these will be addressed in the coming months. *(Nov 2022)*
- **5/5** — A nurturing community that feels like a second home: My daughter has been at 't Schommelbootje for a year now and I've seen her grow into a confident and curious child. The school's emphasis on safety, respect, and community really resonates with us. The facilities are also impressive, with plenty of space for the kids to explore and learn. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — A school that truly understands the importance of free play and exploration: As a parent, it's wonderful to see my child thriving in an environment that prioritizes discovery and creativity. The Freinettechnieken approach has been a game-changer for my child's learning style, and the school's commitment to social-emotional learning is impressive. My only criticism is that the communication with parents could be more frequent, but overall, we're very happy with our decision to send our child here. *(Feb 2022)*
- **5/5** — A school that truly cares for the whole child: My son graduated from 't Schommelbootje a few years ago, and I can honestly say that it was one of the best decisions we ever made. The school's focus on social-emotional learning, combined with its emphasis on kindness, respect, and empathy, really prepared him for the world beyond school. I've seen many other parents struggle with bullying, anxiety, and social issues, but not at 't Schommelbootje - it's truly a haven for children. *(Jun 2021)*
