About this care
Daycare Duimelijntje is a small-scale location of Childcare KIKI, located in two adjacent residential buildings at Hamerstraat 35-37 in Heerlen. We provide care for a maximum of 28 children, divided into 16 toddlers and 12 babies. Our opening hours are from 07:30 to 18:30.
At Duimelijntje, we work with fixed pedagogical staff to create a familiar and safe feeling. The two beautiful and bright group spaces are furnished with lots of love and care, giving children the feeling of being 'at home'. We maintain a homely atmosphere in which children can develop in a playful way.
Our location is strategically located near major employers such as Obvion, APG and Brightland, making us ideal for working parents in the region. We have been active in childcare for more than 25 years and our GGD reports have remained very good throughout this time.
For your child's development, we use the VVE method Puk and Ko, where Puk is the children's friend. This method supports children's development in a playful and natural way.Read more
