About this care
Welcome to daycare Nijntje Pluis in Harmelen. We are located in a spacious, bright building at Groenendaal 1a, where we share the premises with peuteropvang Nijntje Pluis and welcome children from 0 to 4 years. Our goal is for every child to feel safe and at home. We follow the Pedagogical Heart framework of Kind & Co Ludens, built on four pillars: feeling good and having fun, growing and discovering, a rich environment, and being together. For us, play equals discovery and learning; we therefore provide an inspiring setting where children can be curious and develop at their own pace. Our daycare is a mini-society in which we teach children to care for each other and for the world around them.Read more
