VE childcare for your child.
Toddlers are naturally curious; they want to explore and search for the answers to all their "why" questions. Toddlers can embark on a journey of discovery in our special (VE-certified) toddler groups. Children aged 2 to 4 explore under the specialized supervision of two (VE)-qualified staff members. Whether in the classroom, in the hallway, in the garden, or outside the building: there's something to discover everywhere!
Our VE childcare
In the preschool group, toddlers are prepared for primary school through play. They regularly gather in a circle for activities or to share experiences. Each period focuses on a different theme. We also regularly visit the neighborhood "big school" where we participate in the classroom for an hour.
Our preschool staff have specialized knowledge of toddler development and focus on each child's development and needs. Whether things are going well, the child needs extra support, or even more challenge, every child receives the guidance and support they need.
Children learn through experience and by doing. The groups are designed to stimulate the child's natural curiosity.

These include the desired days and start date, the child's age, and cancellations from children already placed. We always consider the staff-to-child ratio. In some situations, children are given priority, such as placing siblings of children already placed. This is our internal waiting list.

Our core values
Children are unique individuals; they are strong, talented, and have a natural drive for self-development. They are curious and explore the world at their own level, at their own pace, and according to their own abilities and character.
De Kleine Wereld offers the child a complementary environment at home and at school. It is therefore crucial that we arrange the child's care in consultation with the parents. We offer an environment full of possibilities. With us, the child experiences different things and develops partly through contact with other children and adults. All this makes the care at De Kleine Wereld an essential part of education.
