About this care
Welcome to De Kameleon at Kohnstammplein 3 in Zeist, the toddler group where children aged 2 to 4 feel at home and prepare for primary school through play. Our cosy group is part of Meander Omnium and officially registered in the National Childcare Register.
Here your toddler has all the space to discover, play and grow. Indoors children can enjoy free play, puzzles, drawing and clay work, while outdoors activities include cycling, singing and listening to stories. We follow a clear daily rhythm and offer a familiar structure every morning and/or afternoon. We are also open on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, giving parents flexible care options.
Our experienced pedagogical staff Hayat, Suzanne and Anouk provide personal attention every day. They guide the children in small groups so that each child feels safe and seen. We use a preschool education programme (VE) focused on language, social skills and motor development, tailored to the developmental stage of 2- to 4-year-olds.
In between we serve a healthy piece of fruit and a drink to keep energy levels up. Our spacious garden invites outdoor play and nature exploration; here children can romp, discover and experience adventures together. In short, De Kameleon is a place where your child can be themselves and explore the world with pleasure.Read more
