Kansrijke Start

Kansrijke Start (literally 'promising start') is a national Dutch approach in which municipalities and health and care partners work together to support expectant parents and young children, from pregnancy through early childhood. It focuses on prevention and on coordinating support for issues that affect a child's health and development, such as parental wellbeing, growing up in a stable home, and access to care. Municipalities adopt it locally, so the specific initiatives can differ from one place to another.
