About this care
Kinderdagverblijf Van Harte is part of Kind & Co Ludens and is located in the Integral Child Centre Van Harte in the Oude Dorp of Houten. We provide care for children aged 0 to 4 years in a cosy, homely atmosphere. Our location has three groups: a baby group (0-2 years), a toddler group (2-4 years), and a vertical group (0-4 years).
In our play corners, children can build with blocks, do puzzles, or curl up with a book in the reading corner. Toddlers can also play in the spacious communal play area adjacent to the group rooms. We regularly organise fun activities: we exercise and run in the gym hall, visit the library, or get creative with crafts. We love playing outside in our natural garden with a sandpit, slide, and water pump.
We work according to the Pedagogical Heart of Kind&co ludens, with four pillars: feeling good and having fun, growing and discovering, a rich environment, and being together. Every year we celebrate a summer party for all parents and children. Feel free to visit for a tour and get to know our location!Read more
