About this care
Welcome to Peuteropvang Durf located at Amstelstraat 3 in Alkmaar. Starting January 1st, 2025, we offer toddler care with early childhood education (VVE) managed directly by our team. Our location is part of primary school Durf, which operates under the Tabijn foundation.
We welcome children aged 2 to 4 years in a safe and stimulating environment where learning through play is central. Our team of qualified childcare professionals guides the children in their development and prepares them for the next step to primary school. Thanks to the direct connection with primary school Durf, children can become familiar with the school environment at an early age.
The toddler care works with horizontal groups, where children of the same age play and learn together. We offer half-day care, tailored to the needs of parents and the developmental stage of the children. Our activities focus on language development and other toddler-specific skills that contribute to a smooth transition to primary education.
As a parent, you can contact our location directly for more information or to register your child. We are ready to welcome you and your child into our trusted and challenging learning environment.Read more
