About this care
Located in the centre of Lopik, our day-care centre Eigen&Wijzer KDV De Groene Ark offers small-scale childcare with a homely atmosphere and a Christian worldview. We believe every child is unique and guide children aged 0 to 4 in discovering their talents by following their interests.
Our natural outdoor space provides hours of playtime fun. Babies have their own special baby garden where they can develop and play peacefully. We spend a lot of time outside with the children in our adventurous garden. Beyond the day-care centre there is also plenty to discover. We visit the library, the shopping centre or the nursing home, learning about the environment and everything that happens within it.
For the very youngest, everything starts with loving care. We work in a child-centred way, giving each child guidance appropriate to their stage of development. Where necessary, we provide children with additional support so that every child is prepared for primary school by the age of 4.
