About this care
Welcome to Speel-/leergroep SamSam, part of Stichting Kinderopvang Avonturijn. Our facility is literally situated between primary schools De Rank and De Vennegötte at Curieplein 21 in Lochem. This central location makes the eventual transition to primary school much smoother, as children are already familiar with the surroundings and the school.
We provide toddler care for children aged 2 to 4 on weekday mornings from 08:30 to 12:30. Drop-off is possible from 08:15. During the morning we use two spaces: our own classroom and the BSO Juno room, allowing us to work in small groups whenever necessary. Our activities focus on your child’s development. Throughout the year we explore various challenging themes that match the children’s interests and what is happening in the group. For each theme we arrange an excursion or invite a guest—think of a trip to the fire station or the bakery, or music lessons in the group.
Outdoor play takes place on the school playground together with the kindergarten children. It is wonderful to see siblings seeking each other out and how toddlers and kindergarteners enjoy playing together. Our team consists of permanent, enthusiastic and experienced pedagogical staff, all trained in Early Childhood Education (VVE). We are here for your child and for you. The playgroup is closed during school holidays.Read more
