About this care
Peuteropvang Berend Botje is located next to Walstraschool in Kropswolde. We provide small-scale toddler care for children aged 2 to 4 years in two fixed morning groups on Monday and Thursday from 08:30 to 12:30. Our aim is to create a safe, familiar environment where toddlers learn through play. Each child is guided by the same dedicated pedagogical staff, ensuring personal attention and continuity. The site has its own entrance and a playground that we use daily. Activities are tailored to the world of toddlers and gently prepare them for primary school. Parents can choose 2 or 4 sessions per week, with transparent agreements and room for flexibility.Read more
