About this care
Welcome to de Pionier Start, our daycare center located at Lookveld 1 in Veghel. We provide professional childcare for children aged 0 to 4 years in a safe and stimulating environment. Our pedagogical team follows a clear pedagogical policy with the development of each child at the center.
Toddlers and preschoolers work and play together around themes that connect to their world of experience. We believe it's important that children feel safe and secure, so they can fully explore and learn. Our pedagogical staff are supported by a policy advisor/coach to continuously guarantee the quality of our care.
We attach great importance to good communication with parents. Conversations about the child's development are scheduled at fixed times, but parents can always request a meeting when they wish. We see parents as educational and pedagogical partners in their child's development.
De Pionier Start is part of the Speelleercentrum de Pionier, where education and childcare seamlessly connect. This offers children uninterrupted development opportunities from 0 to 12 years.Read more
