About this care
Welcome to daycare De Meerpaal! We are located in a former school building at G. Schipperstraat 1 in Naarden. With us, it's cozy, spacious and challenging - exactly what your baby, toddler or preschooler needs to go on a discovery journey.
Our space offers plenty of opportunities to move and discover. We let the ball roll down the hill, or roll ourselves. The children can practice their balance on the stepping stones or choose the balance beam. Last week climbing didn't quite work yet, but after lots of practice it works now! What a reward to then slide down the slide!
We have enough space to run, cycle and play with balls. Outdoor play is very important to us - the children thoroughly enjoy our outdoor space. Parents appreciate that we offer a nice, safe place where there is genuine attention for each child. Our pedagogical staff are dedicated to their profession and ensure that your child feels at home with us.
At De Meerpaal, we find personal attention very important. We are an accessible daycare where everyone knows each other. For many children it feels like a second home. We provide care for babies from 0 years old up to and including preschoolers of 4 years old.Read more
