You register children directly with a Dutch school or with a childcare provider (kinderopvang), usually after registering your family at the municipality and receiving their BSN. International and bilingual schools are available in many cities, and waiting lists are common, so it helps to arrange this early. A childcare allowance (kinderopvangtoeslag) can support working parents with the costs.
