## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — Great school, but some room for improvement: We've had a mostly positive experience at Kouterkind. The school's emphasis on community and social responsibility is wonderful, and our child loves the outdoor play areas. However, we've had some issues with communication between teachers and parents, which has made it hard to stay informed about our child's progress. *(Feb 2023)*
- **5/5** — Wonderful school and community!: We've had a fantastic experience at Kouterkind. The teachers are caring, the facilities are great, and the focus on kindness, respect, and creativity is exactly what we want for our child. We've also loved the special events, like the kerstmarkt! *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — A truly special place for children: I have nothing but praise for Kouterkind. As a parent of two children who attended the school, I was consistently impressed by the caring and dedicated staff, the engaging and inclusive curriculum, and the emphasis on social and emotional learning. My children thrived at Kouterkind, and I'm so grateful for the experiences they had there. *(Jun 2022)*
