About this care
Welcome to Kinderdagopvang Pippeloen, located at Waalstraat 23 in Geldermalsen. We are part of RivaKids, an organisation that provides small-scale, trusted childcare. At Kinderdagopvang Pippeloen, children quickly feel at home thanks to the warm atmosphere. Because children feel safe and secure, they can develop optimally. We always look at what the child needs and tailor the daily schedule to the child's wishes.
The play areas are atmospherically decorated with challenging toys. We work with certain activities and of course there is room for free play. Enjoy playing alone or doing something fun with a friend. Or maybe quietly looking at a book on the sofa. That's all possible.
Children can also play outside and go on adventures in our large outdoor space. The garden is very challenging with many natural elements, such as wood and lots of greenery. We are not called Buitengewoon RivaKids for nothing.
Our location works with age-specific groups: we have 2 groups for children aged 0-2 and 2 groups for children aged 2-4. Our experienced pedagogical staff provide a fixed daily routine with sufficient rest and regularity so that children quickly feel at home.
At RivaKids we believe in the inherent power of development. We believe that the drive to discover and explore is already within every child. Children are thus the engine of their own development. In our interaction with them, it's mainly about observing them carefully and connecting with their world of experience.Read more
