About this care
At KC de Kern in the Kernhem district of Ede, we provide daycare for the youngest children from 0 to 4 years old. Our location is situated at Kleine Houtplein 1, next to primary school De Kern, with which we closely cooperate as Kindcentrum De Kern. We are a warm, cozy and safe environment where children learn and discover through play.
In our pleasant and bright space, young children feel safe and at ease. For babies, we have a designated baby garden where they can move freely. Outside, children can enjoy riding bikes and scooters, building sandcastles in the sandbox, playing in our tipi or climbing on the climbing poles. We work with a vertical group where children of different ages play and learn together.
For your child's development, we use preschool education. The childcare center works with the Preschool Education program Uk & Puk. This program stimulates the broad development of children between 0 and 4 years old by playing and discovering together.
We believe that raising children is something we do together. By lovingly raising, caring for and guiding children, we stimulate them in their development. We don't do this alone, but together with all those involved in the child's life, such as parents and schools. With each other and for each other.Read more
