The Baobab
We call a cat a cat: education needs a dynamic approach tailored to Brussels children with diverse backgrounds and home situations. But Brussels residents today still find too little way to the training – and thus the profession – of teacher.
Many of them have abilities and desire in abundance, but lack a higher education degree. Through the De Baobab project, they get the chance to work as working students – together with an experienced mentor kindergarten teacher – right away. They receive four years of intensive coaching after which they receive a full diploma in kindergarten education. Even more: this is followed by guidance to start as a full-fledged kindergarten teacher(s) in Brussels.
The De Baobab project strengthens the relationship between school, children, parents and neighborhood by structurally integrating role models into Dutch-speaking Brussels preschool education.
