About this care
AI
Welcome to KDV Babbelz! in Smilde, a homely place where children from 6 weeks to 4 years can grow up safely and securely. We are one vertical group: all ages stay together. The advantage is that your child is surrounded by the same familiar faces throughout the entire pre-school period. Our pedagogical staff take the time to hold every baby on their lap, give a bottle, sing a song and offer comfort whenever needed. Toddlers and pre-schoolers can join games and activities at their own level; younger children learn from the older ones and the older children learn to be caring and helpful. Together they grow in a warm community where loving attention and security are central.Read more
