About this care
KDV Duimelijn is a small daycare centre with a baby group and two vertical groups (ages 0-4), located at Bloemstede 4 in Maarssen. The location has two outdoor play areas, including an adventurous outdoor space that challenges children to go on their own discovery tours. There is also an indoor play hall for running and playing in bad weather. The location features its own gym and theatre hall.
We work according to the Pedagogisch Hart (Pedagogical Heart) of Kind & Co Ludens. In the groups we use the Uk & Puk total programme, with themes that match children's world of experience. For toddlers, there is a separate Puk programme that extra stimulates them in their play as preparation for primary school. This location is a certified VE (early childhood education) location.
Our location is registered in the National Childcare Register (LRK number 222484834) and is supervised by the GGD. KDV Duimelijn is part of Stichting Kind & Co Ludens.Read more
