About this care
Daycare centre Marimba is located in a bright, spacious and modern building at Minckelersstraat 77, right in the heart of Hilversum-East. We provide care for up to 86 children aged 0 to 4 years. Each group has a maximum of 16 children and is guided by two qualified, permanent pedagogical staff members, sometimes assisted by an intern or volunteer, ensuring your child always sees familiar faces.
Our green discovery garden borders a day-care centre for the elderly. This unique setting creates meaningful encounters between children and senior citizens, enriching your child’s social development.
All groups follow the Uk & Puk programme for early childhood education (VVE). Through playful discovery we foster creativity and movement, perfectly attuned to each child’s curiosity and developmental stage.
Feel welcome to visit us for a personal tour and experience the warm, homely atmosphere of Marimba.Read more
