About this care
At Kinderopvang De Eerste Stap, we believe that fun is essential for the development of social and emotional skills. We offer a safe and stimulating environment where children from 0 to 4 years can develop freely. Our vertical group structure ensures that children of different ages play and learn together, which contributes to their social skills and empathy.
Our activities are carefully designed to support each child's development. We offer structured learning, outdoor activities, music and movement, and arts and crafts. All of this takes place in an environment rich in learning materials, where children have the opportunity to express their creativity.
In addition, we provide healthy meals, including breakfast, lunch and snacks. Nappies are included in our service, and we have sleeping facilities for the little ones. Our staff are well trained, and we offer specialised support for children with additional needs. We use an app for communication with parents, so they are always kept informed of their child's progress and activities.Read more
