Kansrijke Start is a dedicated initiative aiming to ensure that every child in the Netherlands gets the best possible start in life. Launched in September 2018, this action program focuses on the critical first 1,000 days of a child’s life, beginning 10 months before birth and continuing until the age of two. Through collaboration between medical and social professionals across 275 municipalities, Kansrijke Start works to support vulnerable families by offering comprehensive resources and services tailored to their needs.

The initiative emphasizes early intervention for expectant parents facing challenges such as stress, financial issues, or health risks. By utilizing community coalitions, it enhances cooperation among healthcare providers, social services, and informal networks, ensuring that families receive holistic support. Key services include prenatal home visits, access to financial assistance, and a range of tools for family assessment and intervention. Kansrijke Start is dedicated to building healthier generations and reducing inequalities, helping every child to thrive in both health and opportunities for the future.
