About this care
Peutergroep de Rank is located within CBS de Rank in Zwaag, near the Korenbloem shopping center. We provide early and preschool education (VVE) for children aged 2 to 4 years using the VVE method Startblokken. Our trained pedagogical staff design activities and play to support children's development in a playful manner, giving them a strong start for primary school.
Our toddler group is open Monday to Friday mornings from 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM. The group is closed during school holidays. We work with themed activities and carefully selected materials that optimally promote development. Special attention is given to children's social-emotional development, motor skills, and language development.
The toddler group has its own playground adjacent to the CBS de Rank schoolyard. This safe and challenging outdoor space provides ample opportunities for nature and outdoor learning. We believe it's important for children to explore the world while fostering independence and self-reliance.
Peutergroep de Rank is part of Stichting Kinderopvang West-Friesland, an organization that has been providing childcare for over 40 years in Hoorn and surrounding areas. We warmly invite you for a tour to experience our atmosphere and approach firsthand.Read more
