About this care
AI
Welcome to De Kleine Paulus, our daycare centre located at Valckenierstraat 5 in Arnhem. We are part of the St. Paulus Child Centre Foundation and provide care for up to 16 toddlers aged 2 to 4 years. Every child is free to be themselves here. We work with an Early Childhood Education programme and host monthly parent-child workshops where parents join their child in the group. During these workshops, parents learn how things work at the daycare and we practise language activities together. There is also room to talk with other parents about parenting. Children can attend from Monday to Thursday, 8:15 AM to 12:00 PM. For children with an ECE indication, there has been an offer of an average of 15 hours per week since 1 January 2023, spread over at least four sessions of 3.75 hours. Our staff members Eva Heitman and Jessica Loopstra-Aalbers are ready every morning to provide your toddler with a safe and stimulating environment.Read more

- Good continuity with St. Paulus primary school through aligned themes and physical proximity
- Safety and health are well safeguarded, including careful supervision during risky activities
- Differentiated approach with age-appropriate group arrangements during activities
- Active parent involvement in early education through take-home books and themes
Violations
- An early education professional does not meet the 3F language requirement (oral language proficiency and reading). Recovery offer: the professional will no longer be deployed to the early education group until the requirement is met. Resolved: schedule adjusted.
- A professional is not registered in the Childcare Personnel Register (Personenregister Kinderopvang/PRK) and was not linked to the holder at the start of employment.
