About this care
Welcome to De Verwondering daycare, part of KION childcare in Lent. We share the grounds with De Verwondering primary school at Georges Brassensstraat 61. Our dedicated pedagogical staff work every day to give your child a wonderful time.
Children aged 0 to 4 can play and explore with us. A lovely garden borders directly onto our group rooms – doors open and off we go outside! Climbing, running and messing about with sand and water is all allowed. Indoors there is plenty of fun too; we use the school’s playroom for active games.
We work closely with the primary school. Our toddlers regularly pop in to see the kindergarten children, so they gradually become familiar with the school spaces, the other children and the teacher. Our horizontal grouping – children play in same-age groups – provides calm and familiarity.
De Verwondering daycare offers your child a safe place to grow, play and learn. We look forward to welcoming you!Read more
