At Dutch for Kids, we specialize in online Dutch lessons for children aged 4 to 18. Every lesson is tailored to your child’s level, age, and learning style — so they stay engaged, motivated, and make real progress.
Since 2013, we’ve helped hundreds of international families like yours with Dutch lessons for children — from complete beginners to fluent speakers who just need a boost. Your child will get 1-on-1 support from one of our native Dutch teachers.
In a playful yet effective way, your children learn to speak, read, and write in Dutch. We work with engaging themes from their world of experience and our self-developed colorful thematic method, which perfectly complements trusted programs like Veilig leren lezen, Taal Actief and Diglin.
Whether your child lives abroad or is preparing to return to a Dutch school, our lessons make the transition smooth and set them up for success.
You can help your child stay connected — or catch up fast — with Dutch lessons that fit into your schedule. All from the comfort of your home.

How do our online Dutch lessons for children work?
Starting with Dutch for Kids is easy and personal – whether your child is just beginning or already speaks some Dutch.
Here’s how our online Dutch lessons for children work, step by step:
1
Introductory Meeting with the Parents
Before we begin, you can schedule a short video call with one of our teachers.
During this chat, we discuss your child’s background, age, current level, and your goals as a parent.
This helps us tailor the lessons to your family’s specific needs.
2
First Contact with Your Child
In the first lesson, the teacher focuses on building a connection with your child.
Whether your child is shy or outgoing, our experienced teachers know how to create a safe and positive atmosphere – essential for learning a new language.
3
Personalized Dutch Lessons Begin
We start with Dutch lessons made just for your child. The materials fit their age and keep them engaged.
From games and stories to grammar and writing – everything matches your child’s level and interests.
Lessons take place once or twice a week. They last 30 or 45 minutes, depending on your child’s age and focus.
We adjust the lessons as your child grows. You also get a report twice a year.
Does your child learn Dutch as a second language? Or do they need help maintaining their fluency?
Our Dutch lessons meet your child exactly where they are.

A personal story
It all started in 2013 with my wonderful students Sarah (then in 6th grade) and Noah (then in 4th grade) from Nigeria. I taught them on Saturday mornings, while during the rest of the week I worked as a teacher for 6th grade myself.
I started using the language-focused teaching materials I was familiar with from my own classroom. Noah didn’t speak any Dutch at the time, but both children picked it up so quickly! Within two years, they moved to the Netherlands and joined classes with peers their own age. They immediately thrived in primary school and later at bilingual high school.
Every week, Sarah and Noah were eagerly ready for their lessons, homework completed, and full of motivation to learn their father’s language. Thank you, Sarah and Noah, for the wonderful lessons and all the beautiful memories we shared! – Anouk
