About this care
Welcome to Babino Peuteropvang De Gouw, located on the school grounds of OBS De Gouw at Noorderven 6 in Zaandam. As part of Babino, we provide toddler care for children aged 2 to 4 years at this location. Our toddler care has been officially registered since 1 September 2014 and has capacity for 32 children. We use a VVE programme (Early Childhood Education) focused on language and speech development, preparing children for primary school through play. On Tuesdays and Thursdays we offer half-day care from 7:00 AM until school starts. Our pedagogical staff create a safe and stimulating environment where children can explore, play and grow. We work closely with OBS De Gouw within an Integral Child Centre (IKC), ensuring a smooth transition from toddler care to primary school. Would you like to take a look?
