About this care
Dukdalf is a daycare center located at Regenboogpad 6 in Leiden, housed in the same building as the after-school care. We provide care for children aged 0 to 4 years in a homely and safe environment. Our daycare is part of a larger facility that also hosts after-school activities, ensuring children maintain a familiar environment when transitioning to primary school.
Our location in the Zijlwijk-Noord district is easily accessible and offers ample space for both indoor and outdoor activities. We work with professional childcare staff who provide a warm and stimulating environment where your child can develop optimally. The collaboration with after-school care makes it possible to create a continuous development line for your child.
We stand for personal attention and small-scale care. Each child gets the space to develop at their own pace. Our experienced staff work according to the latest insights in childcare and development. The location is equipped with various play areas and rest spaces tailored to the different ages within our target group.
At Dukdalf, we find it important that parents and children feel at home quickly. We therefore work closely with parents to tailor care to the individual needs of each child. Our location provides a safe foundation for the youngest children to grow and flourish.Read more
