About this care
We are the toddler group Beneden-Leeuwen, located in Kindcentrum Beneden-Leeuwen at Leliestraat 26a. Our pedagogical team guides children aged 2 to 4 in a small-scale, safe group. We work closely with primary schools De Leeuwenkuil and De Wijzer, making the transition to elementary school already feel familiar.
Our spacious natural garden invites exploration: climbing the tree-trunk, cycling over bumpy paths, baking sand cakes or enjoying a picnic in fine weather. Indoors we provide play and learning materials tailored to the toddler stage.
Pre-school Education (VE) is a fixed part of our programme. Our pedagogical staff use challenging, playful activities focused on language, numeracy, motor skills and social development. This way we optimally prepare every child for primary school.
We operate a horizontal group structure, with children playing and learning in age groups. Mornings are reserved for the toddler group (8.30 – 12.30); on Tuesday and Thursday an afternoon group is also available (13.00 – 17.00). Fruit and drinks are included.
Parents experience us as a warm, involved place where their child enjoys coming. We communicate personally and informally; for detailed information and registration please visit our website.Read more
