Hi, I'm Andrea Nlandu - Wezenaar, location manager of Kindergarden Johannes Geradtsweg Hilversum.

With its elegant lines, abundance of light and space for days, our building may just be the perfect setting for a preschool. In our infant group, for one, we have created several corners where your child can discover various toys and other play products. We have clearly marked these spaces out for our youngest ones, to serve as an orientation aid and give them a sense of safety.

We often divide the toddlers into smaller groups, so we can engage in activities with more focused attention: while one group stays inside to look at picture books, the other group heads outdoors for play and exercise. We prepare our oldest toddlers for elementary school by focusing on subjects such as language and arithmetic. We have a separate, safe infant garden on the roof terrace, where we can keep an eye on the younger and older toddlers as they play outdoors.

Our activities are seasonally based, so when the apples are ripe for the picking, we turn them into apple sauce or apple fritters. And when chestnut season rolls around, we love to use these gifts of nature for all kinds of crafts. We provide easy, complimentary parking right outside our building.

Discovery garden

Our large green garden really invites children to start discovering and playing. The swing, the hide-and-seek shrubs, the sandpit, or the cycling route all ensure that your child is invited to discover and play.
Baby garden (terrace)

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.
English lessons

Young children’s ears are incredibly receptive to the sounds of other languages. We grasp this opportunity every week so our toddlers get to know English through play. We use our hand puppets Benny and Bella for this.
Older toddlers

Our older toddler group focuses on each toddler’s specific developmental needs, helping to prepare them for elementary school. We aim to promote self-reliance and challenge them to do as much for themselves as possible, which is really useful when they start elementary school.

I’m simply delighted with Kindergarden Hilversum. All the staff are so committed, they communicate so clearly, and every day there’s a fantastic, fresh hot lunch. Another plus for me is that they have four different age groups, so the children are always challenged at their own level. And, of course, there’s the huge square, a Valhalla for the young ones who love playing outdoors.

When do I need to register for childcare?

To increase the chances of securing a spot, we recommend enrolling your child as soon as possible at our childcare. We take your preferences into account during our planning and strive to fulfill your wishes to the best of our ability.

How likely is it that I will be given a place?

That depends on various factors including preferred days, how many days you need, and how flexible you are. For example, the likelihood of a placement becoming available for one day is greater than three or four days becoming available in one go. The more flexible you are as a parent, the greater the likelihood that we will be able to offer you a place.

When will I hear whether there is a place?

If you’re seeking a place quickly, we’d be happy to look at the options available in our schedule. At the busier locations, we often work approximately four months ahead, so it can take some time before you hear from us. If there’s a waiting list, we rely on cancellations/schedule changes for new places to become available.

Are you pregnant and looking for a place in the longer term? We have horizontal groups at Kindergarden and this affects how far ahead we can plan. Horizontal means that children move on to the next group at a certain time. As we take a child’s development and age and the days that a child spends at the daycare center into account, we plan four to six months ahead, depending on how busy the center is. A schedule can also change a lot. Factors that influence this include registration of siblings (they are given priority), schedule changes for children who already have a placement (switching days or increasing the number of days), and cancellations.

Our childcare staff can focus entirely on the children, because they receive optimal support from colleagues at the location. For instance, the cleaning staff makes sure everything is clean and tidy and prepares a fresh, hot lunch for everyone every day. The full-time location manager is responsible for supervising staff, administration, and for answering practical questions from parents. Working together like this ensures that we have all the time we need to care for, guide, and help your child develop.

In ‘Wereldwijs’, our childcare program, we explain how we offer that attention and guidance and why we work like this. As we have developed, detailed, and recorded everything in a well-thought-out way, ‘Wereldwijs’ offers the perfect guidance for our childcare staff. This program ensures that, as parent, you know which development points we will be focusing on.

Walk into any of the groups and you’ll see clearly marked corners and play equipment everywhere. They invite you to investigate and play! Our furniture as the play equipment, we ensure that this grows with your child.
