About this care
Welcome to Kids Lodge Het Zonnetje, our daycare center located at Lange Schaft 1 in Houten. Even when the sun isn't shining outside, it's always warm and cozy inside our facility. We provide childcare for babies and toddlers aged 0 to 4 years in a familiar environment that feels almost like home.
Our location features three baby groups and four toddler groups. For the youngest children, from 0 to approximately 2 years old, we create a secure atmosphere where your baby can grow within a consistent group. This stability and safety give your child all the space to learn at their own pace: from lying to crawling, from crawling to walking. Our team guides the development of sensory perception, the transition from liquid to solid foods, and the discovery of language and social contacts.
For toddlers aged 2 to 4 years, we have separate toddler groups. These children require less individual care and increasingly learn to eat and drink together. We believe that play is learning. Through playful discovery and experimentation, children gain confidence and their curiosity is stimulated.
Our pedagogical professionals are ready every day with personal attention for your child. We are aware of the importance of the early years and do everything we can to make this time for your child and for you as parents a fantastic experience. Together with your child, we embark on the journey of discovery towards independence, with safety and trust always at the center.
Our opening hours are Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 6:30 PM. We are officially registered in the National Childcare Register and offer preschool education (VE). You can apply for childcare allowance for our services.Read more
