For Parents, with and by parents
Leidsche Rijn-Ouders Connected -
We are stronger together
We are a network for and with parents from Leidsche Rijn, Vleuten, and De Meern. Our focus? Parenting and raising children in our own neighborhood.
Being a parent is wonderful—and sometimes quite a challenge. We’ve all been there! How wonderful is it to just vent, find common ground, and gain new inspiration?
That’s why we connect families. We welcome parents from all countries and cultures who, together, make our neighborhood vibrant. Whatever your background, you belong.
Curious about what we do or want to participate in an activity, lecture, or workshop—or contribute something yourself? It’s all possible: check out the agenda or the video below and join us!

Quotes of other parents:
“It takes a village to raise a child.”

“I had the feeling that I was the only one struggling like this. It’s nice to find out that’s not true and that we can learn from one another!”
