About this care
Welcome to KDV Sam Sam, a small-scale Solidoe location at Jac. P. Thijsselaan 10 in Aalsmeer. We provide daycare for babies and toddlers in a beautifully renovated authentic building featuring two groups: a baby group for children aged 0-2 years and a toddler group for children aged 2-4 years. Our building exudes a homely atmosphere and is surrounded by a green outdoor area with a challenging natural garden, including a special baby garden.
Our baby group is staffed by baby-specialized childcare professionals who approach each child calmly and respectfully, following their development at the child's own pace. In the toddler group, we work with themes and offer various activities both indoors and outdoors. Music lessons are a fixed part of our program and are received with great enthusiasm.
We place great value on sustainability and healthy nutrition. In our vegetable garden, we grow our own vegetables and fruits, and we care for our own chickens and rabbits together with the children. This way, toddlers learn early on about respect and love for nature and animals. We work with organic products and take food allergies and dietary requirements into account.
Our close-knit team of experienced colleagues ensures that every child feels safe and seen. Due to our small scale, all pedagogical staff know each child personally. We are open 52 weeks per year from Monday to Friday from 7:30 AM to 6:30 PM. Feel free to come by for a tour and experience the warm atmosphere of Sam Sam yourself!Read more
