Je hebt het misschien al horen vallen in de media. Het Groeipakket, de Kinderbijslag in Vlaanderen, was de hoofdrolspeler in de Septemberverklaring van de Vlaamse Regering.

You don’t know who is more apprehensive about that first day at school; you or your little one. Every child experiences their first day at school differently. Both the school and parents obviously play an important role in that experience.

Children who are entitled to the Growth Package or Child Benefit receive a basic monthly amount. This basic amount can be topped up with supplementary allowances or premiums. Your basic amount is based on a number of conditions and may vary per child. 

In certain circumstances children who attend pre-, primary or secondary school are entitled to the Study Allowance. This allowance is also referred to as the selective participation allowance and is intended for families on low incomes. You receive this in addition to the school premium or school bonus that’s paid out in August. 

The decision has been made and you're planning to start a family. Or add another child to your family. Regardless your situation, you can’t wait to welcome that little bundle of joy. And now that you’ve set your mind on it, it can’t happen quickly enough. Time to start planning for your baby!
