During an information call we will discuss your wishes and provide you with information on the Dutch and international schooling system, pre-schools, daycare and language classes.
Based upon your wishes we will make a selection of schools which best suits your child’s needs and living area preferences. After our quality checks we'll give you a list of available local or international schools (if available).
In The Netherlands, admittance is often restricted to those who live in the school’s zip code area. We can accompany you by visiting various schools, give insights into the differences between the schools and help you make the best suitable choice for your child.
We will support you with the registration to your selected school.
We place over 400 children per year, from age zero till eighteen. So this will either be a primary school, a secondary school, a pre-school or a day-care. Of course we are also more than happy to help with the first-day-of-school preparations.

SportWays Hockey Camps and Young Expat Services organise a summer camp with hockey and language. Participants will be able to practice the Dutch language while playing sports with (new) friends. Dutch will be the spoken language during the camp, but the staff also speaks English.
'In the midst of the Corona Pandemic we received the news that we will be relocating to Amsterdam for a permanent job. So we started searching the internet for housing and especially schools and daycares for our kids. Since it is impossible to travel at the moment it was really hard to find helpful information. We then came across a recommendation for Young Expat Services, a company specialised in consultation and support in finding the right schools in the Netherlands for foreigners. At first we hesitated, because of the cost, but at last we decided to try it. It was very much worth it. Eline replied to our inquiry immediately and we were scheduled for a call the next day. She provided us with all the information we were looking for, e.g. how do you find a school, how do you enrol, when are the schools open, what to look for if Dutch is the second language for your child, how to assess the public vs. international school options as well as all the information on daycares. Most importantly, she helped us to find the best strategy to work with the current pandemic and all the consequences it might bring. Eline is very knowledgable, very friendly and her judgment is trustworthy. I would strongly recommend her company's services to anyone relocating to the Netherlands with children.'
Young Expat Services is a fabulous resource for our expat clients. Starting with the first introductory Skype call the consultant immediately gives the family the feeling of being well taken care of and listened to by their own local expert. It's such a relief for the families. Not only getting information about the most appropriate schools and how the process works but also taking care of the details, making viewing appointments, assisting with translating emails and the registration process. They have the best interests of the families in mind and also think proactively about the next step for children, alerting the families what they'll need to consider when the child turns a certain age, waiting lists at certain schools etc. We feel very fortunate to have YES as a partner and can highly recommend their services.
"YES has relocated over 400 families for Booking.com. They accompanied our new employees & their families from A-Z in finding (local) schools,
guided them through the Dutch School System and helped them in the first weeks of settlement in The Netherlands by giving Dutch lessons.
This service increases the chances of success of the move. Young Expat Services gives a personal touch to their
service and puts the children in the first place and makes sure the family gets a soft landing."
"I would hereby like to highly commend the services provided by both Mieky van Schijndel and Claudia Wage-Brans of the Young Expat Services team. From the onset, as we liased with Mieky about our three sons education options in the Netherlands, we felt completely understood and were always given accurate information. She handled the applications and enquiries with great efficiency keeping us updated on the progress and status of each child. Upon arrival, Mieky truly became a very solid anchor in the expat service provided by Booking.com. She has helped us navigate through the schooling system, weathering all the ups and downs with empathy. I could not recommend her more highly, what a pleasure and saving grace! Claudia was yet another huge blessing to our youngest son whilst giving him lessons in Dutch. We were thrilled with the weekly email reports on how he was doing in the lesson. She made the lessons so interesting and fun that his enthusiasm to meet with her each week was tangible. We loved the photos and literary recommendations made, it was a sad last lesson not only for him but for us as a family. Thank you both so very much for doing an incredible job at helping us integrate.
Warm regards,"
YES! We are moving
to The Netherlands and would like
your help finding the right school for our child.
