Mission & vision
At Gastouderbureau Pippi, everything revolves around small-scale childcare in the childminder's (gastouder) own home. We offer a personal and safe environment where every child feels cherished and can develop optimally. Our core values are personal attention, a homely atmosphere and consistency. We believe in the added value of a trusted environment and a personal approach, with the aim of relieving parents and giving children a place where they feel at home and can discover their talents.
Pedagogical vision
Gastouderbureau Pippi applies the 4 basic goals of Professor Marianne Riksen-Walraven: emotional security, personal competence, social competence, and norms and values. Every child is a unique being that should be able to develop at their own pace. Childminders (gastouders) make an essential contribution to the development and wellbeing of the child by creating a climate in which a child feels safe and familiar and can play and develop with pleasure. A childminder family (gastoudergezin) offers an environment in which a child can grow into a balanced, independent and unique person with respect for others and themselves.
