About this care
Welcome to KDV Koolhoven, located at the southern edge of the Reeshof district in Tilburg. Our daycare center is part of Kindcentrum Koolhoven, where childcare and primary school are united under one roof. This unique location provides a familiar environment where children aged 0 to 4 can develop safely and securely.
At KDV Koolhoven, we work with different base groups that match your child's developmental stage. For the youngest ones, we have two groups specially designed for babies and toddlers from 0 to approximately 2.5 years old. Additionally, we offer two vertical groups where children of all ages (0-4 years) play and learn together. For the toddlers, we have two special toddler groups for children aged 2 to 4 years.
Our qualified pedagogical staff are ready every morning to welcome your child with a warm hug. We consciously work with familiar faces and a stable group composition, so your child always sees the same trusted faces. This creates a safe foundation in which children can develop optimally. In addition to verbal communication, we use non-verbal communication through gestures, which stimulates language development and helps us understand your child even better.
A healthy and fresh meal is important to us. That's why we work together with Slagerij Laurijssen. They provide our warm meals and bake cookies for the children. All dietary requirements are possible and our location is completely nut-free. For parents who come home a bit later, we offer the possibility to arrange a warm meal for your child.
Because our daycare and primary school work closely together, activities at the daycare regularly connect with themes from the school. This ensures a warm, smooth and safe transition from daycare to primary school. Children who come to our daycare are often later seen at our primary school and after-school care - how wonderful is that!Read more
