Why learning Dutch matters

For many expat families, learning Dutch goes far beyond mastering a new language—it’s about connection, culture, and opportunity.

  • Stay Connected to Heritage: Learning Dutch helps children maintain ties with their roots, enabling them to communicate with Dutch-speaking relatives and stay connected to their cultural identity.
  • Easier Integration: For families living in or returning to the Netherlands, knowing Dutch helps children integrate seamlessly into their schools and social circles.
  • Broader Opportunities: Proficiency in Dutch can open doors to academic success and future career opportunities, especially for children who may one day work or study in the Netherlands.

At Dutch for Children, we make this possible with engaging, high-quality lessons that meet the unique needs of expat families.

What makes Dutch for Children unique?

If you’re new to Dutch for Children, here’s what sets us apart:

  • Tailored learning for every child: Our private lessons are completely customized to fit the child’s age, education level, interests, and parents’ Whether it’s exploring hobbies, improving grammar, or preparing for exams, we ensure every lesson is meaningful and engaging.
  • Small groups for big results: In our group lessons (maximum of 4 students), children learn in an encouraging, interactive environment. These 8-week programs starting in 2025, organized by age groups (6-9, 9-12, and 12+), are perfect for giving kids a strong start in Dutch.
  • Experienced and empathetic teachers: Our team consists of native Dutch teachers who are professionally trained, experienced in online education, and understand the challenges of living abroad. Many of our teachers have lived or traveled internationally, making them uniquely qualified to support expat children.

For the past decade, we’ve helped children worldwide develop their Dutch language skills, regardless of where they live. And we’re just getting started!
