About this care
Located at Broekmaten 4 in Den Ham, right next to primary school De Maten, Kindcentrum De Maatjes offers professional daycare for children aged 0 to 4 in a homely, playful environment. Our group room is cheerfully arranged and equipped with diverse and inviting play materials that match the world of experience of young children. We work with horizontal age groups, so babies up to about 2 years and toddlers from 2 to 4 years each receive the attention and care that suits their stage of development.
Every day we take the children outside into our beautiful discovery garden. Here they can romp, discover and play with natural materials. This outdoor experience not only stimulates motor development, but also contributes to the social and cognitive skills of the children. Moreover, playing outside is just great fun!
We use the Early Childhood Education (VVE) program, with which we work specifically on language development, social skills and motor development. Thanks to close cooperation with primary school De Maten, the transition to primary education is smooth and familiar for both child and parent. Our pedagogical staff are ready every morning from 7:30 AM to 6:30 PM, also on Wednesday with a special Toddler group.Read more
