About this care
KDV Careltje is located at Kerkweg 20 in Cothen, right inside the De Carolus primary-school building. We provide daycare for up to 16 children aged 0 to 4 years, in one group. Our modern, child-friendly space features two spacious sleeping rooms and a wonderful group area. The location has recently been fully restyled in KaKa's new house style. This layout offers children a safe, clear environment with plenty of challenges and cosy corners to play and develop. Outside, the children enjoy a large, green playground where they can run and explore freely. Our staff work with Piramide, a VVE method that stimulates children's development through a combination of play, work and learning. Children who need extra support receive special attention through tutoring, language stimulation and play. Thanks to our close partnership with De Carolus School, the children become familiar with the building, the teachers and the school's approach from an early age, making the transition to primary school much smoother.Read more
