About this care
Welcome to Kwakel, our small-scale daycare centre at Piet Heinlaan 22 in Harderwijk. Our homely premises accommodate up to 16 children aged 0 to 4. We work in horizontal groups, so your baby or toddler is always with peers and our familiar, trusted childcare professionals.
At Kwakel we value calm, routine and personal attention. Our spacious, bright rooms are set up as safe little home corners where children quickly feel at ease. We have a sheltered outdoor play area where the children get fresh air every day and can romp around with sand, water and natural materials.
Our team consists of Marjoke, Sylvia and Amber – experienced pedagogical staff who really get to know each child. We follow the principles of Stichting Kinderspeelzalen Harderwijk: learning through play, positive parenting and growing together. There is room for VVE activities, but never in a performance-oriented way; it is all about enjoying discovery and development at your child’s own pace.
We offer half-day or full-day care. We would love you to come and meet us first – feel free to call for an appointment.Read more
