Who we are

Helping children discover what they can do: this is why Marije Brune and Sandra van der Meulen started Skills for Kids in 2010. Their experience in primary education forms the foundation.

We bring together schools and specialist teachers. With a programme that fits the children and with attention to the organisation around it.

Marije Brune

Director / Owner Skills for Kids

Marije worked in primary education in The Hague and Amsterdam. At Skills for Kids, she combines that experience with her passion for connecting and collaborating.

She works with schools to develop a tailored plan and finds the specialist teachers who fit. For her, the match between teacher, school and children is what matters most.

An enthusiastic teacher can help a child discover something new. Making that meeting possible is what drives her.

Sandra van der Meulen

Director / Owner Skills for Kids

Sandra discovered in her school work how much she enjoys bringing people and opportunities together. In 2010 she set up her own business: Skills for Kids.

She values a partnership where both school and specialist teacher feel at home. Contact with different schools keeps her close to educational practice.

Children are different. Sandra believes it is important that they have space to discover what interests them and what they enjoy.
