What's so unique about Kindergarden childcare in Utrecht?
-
Individual attention
Our 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 groups
We 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 design
Our 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 gardens
A 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 lunch
Seeing 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.
Kindergarden: A wonderful place for your child!
Childcare in Utrecht
Eye contact, a pat on the head or responding when a child needs you... It's second nature to our staff. Every child needs attention and guidance to reach their full potential. In our Wereldwijs educational programme, we explain how we provide that attention and guidance at our childcare centres, and the reasons for our method. Thanks to this programme, you as a parent will know about the development points that our attention is focused on.
In short they include providing a rich learning environment, completely attuned to your child’s experiences. We ensure that there is a clear daily rhythm and an effective group structure. Your child will be placed in a group of peers, so that the rooms, rhythms and activities are best suited to your child’s stage of development. We cook fresh and healthy food every day in our own kitchen. All of our locations have an adventure garden where your child can explore nature and play to its heart’s content.
By providing an inspiring, challenging environment, we encourage your child to discover itself and the world in a safe way.
After-school care in Utrecht
After a day at school, children just want to relax, run around, play and be with friends their age. At our after-school care, we give your child all the space it needs to run free. We challenge children by offering them all kinds of equipment, toys and activities, but ultimately your child decides what it wants to do that day.
This gives them the confidence to make their own decisions, so that they can discover their own talents. Where better for children than in an inspiring and challenging environment? While at the same time being supervised and encouraged by loving, specialised staff? Children aged 4 to 12 develop rapidly, each in their own unique way. All attention and guidance at our after-school care centre in Utrecht are therefore dedicated to that personal development.
Needless to say, your child is collected from school and taken to the after-school care safely. Our locations provide plenty of space, they are equipped with cosy and inviting, high-quality furnishings and fittings. Everyday we cook healthy and varied food in our own kitchen together with the children.
