We offer weekly music lessons to our babies and junior toddlers – including the very youngest of our children, as music helps them to interact with others, brings out their creativity, and facilitates language development. Adopting certain musical customs – like singing a song before naptime – also gives them a sense of trust and stability.
Finally, we have a large yard with a secluded section for our babies and junior toddlers, plus a vegetable garden where we harvest our own fruit and vegetables, which we then examine together... and enjoy as a treat! We are located near downtown Amsterdam, close to the Jordaan district.

Baby garden
Babies can enjoy the fresh air in complete safety in their own sheltered baby garden area. And the older children can play hide-and-seek to their heart’s content in the willow tunnel or in the sandpit, or race around on small bicycles or carts.
-
Older toddler activities
We often make a point of splitting the toddler group so that we can offer activities that are a good match for the children’s different developmental phases. For instance, in the morning we start with circle time, to prepare the older toddlers (over 3s) for elementary school.
-
Sleep studio and gym
One of our aims is to promote infant and toddler self-reliance. For example, the toddlers who still take naps do so in our “sleep theater,” where they each have their own dedicated place on their own mattress. And when they wake up, we encourage them to get dressed themselves. And when they’re not sleeping, we transform the space into a gym!
-
Yoga
Exercise is important, which is why we offer weekly baby, infant, and toddler yoga. This develops a good way of moving. We also practice keeping balance and we develop their fine and gross motor skills. They simply love it!
On our childcare center, we have horizontal groups
Every child lives in a world where everything impresses – and everything has an impact. That is why we work with horizontal groups at our childcare locations.
