What's so unique about Kindergarden childcare in Utrecht?
-
Individual attentionOur childcare staff focuses all their time and attention on the children. For instance, we don’t just change diapers because it’s needed, for us it’s a moment of genuine and loving attention.
-
Horizontal groupsWe keep peers together as they can then learn from each other. It also enables us to adjust to your child’s daily routine and adapt the space entirely to your child’s age.
-
Our designOur furniture and play equipment grow with your child’s age and development. Lots of our play equipment is at a child’s height so they can easily grab the items they want to use themselves.
-
Challenging gardensA child learns and plays differently outdoors than indoors. That’s why we pay as much attention to the design of our gardens as we do to the indoor spaces at our locations.
-
Fresh, hot lunchSeeing others eat, encourages you to eat, which is why we prepare our own fresh, hot lunch every day to eat together with the children. They can then learn from each other and your child will discover new flavors.
