About this care
Welcome to Babino Peuteropvang De Dijk-Oost, located at Hogendijk 81 in Zaandam. We are part of an integrated child center (IKC) together with primary school OBS De Dijk. This unique collaboration enables us to optimally guide children aged 2 to 4 in their development and ensure a smooth transition to primary education.
Our toddler care facility features a beautiful, atmospheric group space that is decorated according to the current theme we are working on. Besides our cozy indoor area, we offer a challenging playground where children can play and explore to their heart's content. We work with the VVE program Pyramid Digital, through which our pedagogical staff adapt activities to each child's developmental level. This way, we optimally respond to the individual needs of the children.
The pedagogical staff at De Dijk-Oost take care of the well-being of both children and parents. At the end of each morning, they provide a warm handover so you know exactly how your child's day went. We provide care for a maximum of 16 children per day, allowing us to give personal attention to each child.
Our opening hours are Monday to Friday from 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM. During school holidays, the toddler care is closed. We warmly invite you to come for a non-committal tour and get to know our location and our team.Read more
