About this care
Welcome to ikOOK! Budel, our daycare center located at Wethouder van Hunselstraat 13 in Budel. We provide high-quality childcare where fun in playing and discovering is central. Our location has been officially registered since August 12, 2013 and has space for up to 16 children aged 0 to 4 years.
We follow the toddler program that fully connects with the early grades of primary school. We use the Peuterplein method, which perfectly aligns with Kleuterplein used in grades 1 and 2. This complete package offers fun materials and challenging activities to prepare children for primary school in a structured and playful way. Every morning we follow a fixed structure of activities in which we daily address all seven developmental domains of the young child: language, preparatory arithmetic, movement, fine motor skills, music, social-emotional development and world orientation.
Our pedagogical staff create a safe, stimulating environment where each child can develop in their own way and at their own pace. We value good relationships with parents and caregivers and work from a pedagogical partnership. Together we ensure optimal development of your child in a familiar environment that feels like an extension of home.Read more
