Learning through play and safety
Children discover the world through play. Our educational staff guide them on this exciting journey. They provide care and nurturing, while also fostering a sense of camaraderie, trust, and variety in activities like reading aloud, singing songs, and crafts, as well as enjoying outdoor activities together. The diverse range of indoor and outdoor activities promotes your child's development in creativity, motor skills, and play and language development.
Toddler activities

And many more activities that we practice extra with the toddlers.
Of course, we're already busy with activities for all age groups every day. But toddlers need more and more challenges. We regularly take the toddlers to our classroom, where we can do all sorts of fun activities for them.
This is an extra challenge for toddlers and good for their development and self-confidence.
We offer tailor-made educational games for all age groups from 0 to 4 years.
Play Safe
Safety and health: this should be self-evident at a daycare center or after-school care center, so we do everything we can to ensure this.
After-school care children are of course somewhat older than children aged 0-4 years.
They need a bit more of a challenge and are more independent.
Every year, we inventory each room for safety risks. This inventory doesn't necessarily require technical expertise, but rather insight into and experience with children's activities. Inventory lists are used to identify accidents in each room, indicating whether the likelihood of them occurring is high or low. The likelihood of serious injury in such an accident must then be rated as high or low. The "excluded possibility" applies only to risks that cannot occur because the materials or similar materials are simply not available. Risks can occur every day. Recording these accidents or hazards is crucial. Recording forms are included in the method for both cases. To prevent accidents and minimize hazards, house rules have been established.
OUR PROGRAM
List of services
-
free playList item 1Children should be given the space to play freely. Characteristic features of play are: it is enjoyable and joyful, has no goals, is spontaneous, is determined by the participants, is not literal (may contain pretend elements), has its own reality, is free from external rules, and encourages active involvement.
-
trafficList item 2JUGGLING in Traffic is an educational program for children aged 0 to 6 and their (professional) caregivers. Babies, toddlers, and preschoolers pick up a lot about traffic rules and behavior without even realizing it. It's important that we encourage this. The core of this program consists of traffic-themed weeks (between 3 and 6 weeks) for the children and an informational meeting for the caregivers.
-
DiscoveryList item 3What creatures live in ditches, lakes, and canals? Which creatures can children discover in the garden? And if you don't have a garden, what then? We discover together with the children what kinds of creatures and insects there are. Children find this very interesting and exciting.
-
moveWe encourage various forms of physical activity. Children have a lot of energy, and they can release that energy with us. We start the morning with morning exercises and play active, fun games with the children. Our favorite activity is the playground.
-
forest walkPlaying in nature is great fun for children, very healthy, and it stimulates creativity. Children love it. Summer, fall, winter, or spring? A walk in the woods is fun, interesting, exciting, and relaxing in any season.
