Many believe finding schooling in the Netherlands is challenging because there might be long waiting lists.
Others think schools can be arranged in advance, but don’t consider that you need a Dutch address if you’re heading to a local Dutch school/language class.
The waiting list is in reality a bit more nuanced.
The reality about the waiting lists:
- Dutch immersion classes or daycares
Finding daycares or immersion classes for a family relocating to the Netherlands can be challenging because of the waiting lists. Though not all Dutch immersion classes and daycares have waiting lists, they could literally change from month to month. It’s very hard to predict actually. The situation can also vary between cities and towns but still full-time daycare is a very challenging search! - Funded international schools in NL
