About

Niketan is an innovative care organization with a focus on care and support for every child, for every disability, for every parent. Niketan’s focus is on the supply of relatively high-quality care and inclusion. We offer healthcare professionals opportunities and (local) governments an opportunity to improve care.

We see service as a process that we carry out together with our staff, and not something that is imposed by the organization.

The initiatives for the development of new services arise from the management, the workplace and the needs of parents.
