Right from pregnancy ...
You are welcome the minute you know that you are expecting a baby. We work with obstetricians, hospitals and maternity care. We also work with municipalities, schools and other partners. The municipality notifies us when your child is born. We then contact you. We will make an appointment for:
• A hearing test and heel prick test (neonatal screening).
• The birth consultation.
You may choose whether or not you wish to use our offer.
... until your child is 18 years old
We will see each other at various points until your child is 18 years old. We will discuss when these will be. The appointment is at your home, at a CJG location, or at the school. We can also phone or video call each other. We will then check the development and health of your child. If you need extra support or help, we will provide it. Or we will help you contact the right people.
You are not alone
We also organise courses and meetings at our CJG locations, in the neighbourhood, and online. These could be about a baby’s first solid foods, talking with your child, the use of social media, and puberty. Do you want to know more? These are not only useful to know, but enjoyable too.
Visit cjgrijnmond.nl/cursus. You can also drop by during our drop-in sessions at CJG or at school. Parents, children, young people and teachers are welcome to drop by. Our website gives details about when and where. You can also ask your child’s school.
