Skrs Kinderopvang

What Skrs Kinderopvang does

SKRS (Stichting Kinderopvang Regio Schagen) is a non-profit Dutch childcare foundation founded on 1 January 1980 and headquartered at Lauriestraat 42, 1741 CK, Schagen. The organization provides three core service lines — kinderdagverblijf (full-day daycare for children aged 0–4, 7:00–18:30 on weekdays), peuteropvang (preschool for children aged 2–4, four hours per morning, 40 weeks per year), and buitenschoolse opvang or BSO (before/after school care for children aged 4–13) — supplemented by voorschoolse educatie (VE) for children with a language-development or social-medical indication, summer care, and flexible care (flexopvang). SKRS operates 6 daycare centers, 6 preschool locations, and 7 after-school-care locations spread across nine physical sites in Schagen, Dirkshorn, Kolhorn, and Sint Maarten, and employs approximately 120 staff.

The revenue model is a regulated subscription: parents pay fixed monthly fees via direct debit (spread evenly over 12 months, including holidays) at or below the Dutch fiscal maximum (€10.91 per hour for daycare and €11.23 per hour for preschool in 2026; BSO capped at €9.98), topped up by the Belastingdienst-administered kinderopvangtoeslag (childcare allowance) which SKRS can collect directly and net against parent invoices; municipal subsidies cover VE-indicatie children through Gemeente Schagen. Technology is limited to consumer-facing apps: the in-house SKRS-app (photos, digital diary, day-swap and extra-day requests, messaging), a partnered OuderApp for developmental tracking, and the De Pot Op! potty-training app rolled out organisation-wide on 1 July 2026 following a pilot at 't Hoepeltje in March 2025. The foundation holds the Groene Kwaliteitskeurmerk for its outdoor spaces (recertified June 2026 by Stichting Groen Cement) and Uk & Puk pedagogical staff certifications.

Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer, anchored on the SKRS website, the digital enrollment portal aanmeldenkinderopvang.nl, phone enrollment (0224 298 363), in-person tours and information packages, and assisted applications for the kinderopvangtoeslag. Marketing channels span Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, the Schager Uitdaging annual business fair, and word-of-mouth. SKRS is governed by a directeur-bestuurder (Mascha de Wit) and a Raad van Toezicht, with no external investor, parent company, or acquired subsidiaries. Recent positioning has been heavily collaborative: the foundation co-located new capacity inside primary schools (De Meerkoet in Dirkshorn, autumn 2024; De Keerkring in Schagen, September 2024; De Zwerm in Sint Maarten, May 2026) to build integrated child centers (IKC/JKC), signed the VVE-convenant 2026–2029 with Gemeente Schagen and GGD Hollands Noorden in December 2025, and on 20 May 2026 entered the 'Kinderkracht in de Noordkop' regional alliance with peer foundations Kappio and Monter to prepare for the Dutch government's planned 2029 transition to free universal childcare.

Revenue model

1. Childcare allowance (kinderopvangtoeslag): Parents receive government childcare allowance from the Belastingdienst based on income. The allowance consists of an income-dependent government contribution and a mandatory employer contribution. SKRS can receive the allowance directly from the government and offset it against the parent's invoice.
2. Parent tuition fees: Parents pay tuition fees for childcare services. For childcare center (kinderdagverblijf): €10.91 per hour (bruto, 2026). For preschool (peuteropvang): €11.23 per hour (2026). BSO rates are lower and within the fiscal maximum. Fees are charged monthly via direct debit on the 25th of each month, spread evenly across 12 months.
3. Municipal subsidy (peuteropvang): For parents with a VE-indicatie (language development indication) or social-medical indication, the municipality (Gemeente Schagen) provides a subsidy covering twice four hours per week for 40 weeks per year, income-dependent.
