About this care
Welcome to Kindercentrum Al Amana, a preschool facility with an Islamic foundation located at Zuidervaart 2B in Zaandam. We provide care for up to 16 children aged 2.5 to 4 years. Our location has been officially registered as a daycare center since September 1, 2023, operating from a clear pedagogical vision aligned with our identity.
Children learn through play at our center. We prepare them for primary school in a playful manner through activities such as indoor and outdoor free play, puzzles, drawing, clay modeling, cycling, singing, and listening to story time. These activities are carefully designed to stimulate your child's development in cognitive, social-emotional, and motor areas, always in accordance with our Islamic values and norms.
Our horizontal group structure means children gather in age groups, promoting development and interaction among children of similar age. We offer a safe and familiar environment where your child can develop optimally. Our pedagogical staff are ready to guide your child in their developmental journey.Read more

Summary
On 16 July 2026, the Municipal Health Service (GGD) conducted an unannounced incidental inspection at daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) Al Amana Kinderopvang in Zaandam. The inspection took place following an application to expand the number of childcare places from 32 to 96. The location provides care for children aged 2.5 to 4 years at primary school IBS De Horizon, using the VE programme 'Piramide Digitaal'. All assessed quality requirements have been met, including general conditions, pedagogical climate, staff, safety, and accommodation. The GGD gives a positive recommendation for expansion to a maximum of 48 places, lower than the requested 96. There were a few minor safety points that the operator has already resolved or will resolve before the start of the new group.
