About this care
Kindcentrum Krokodaris is located in the vibrant multicultural neighbourhood of ‘t Brûkske in Venray, housed within the modern community centre ‘t Brûkske. We use two bright group rooms and look out onto the future city park that will soon border our centre. The children who come to us mirror the neighbourhood itself: a colourful mix of cultures and home languages. We embrace this diversity and turn it into a strength, offering a worldly upbringing that prepares every child for an open and respectful future.
Our daycare welcomes children from 0 to 4 years old. Parents can choose a 52-week year-round contract or a 40-week school-year contract. We offer morning, afternoon or full-day sessions, with a minimum attendance of two half-days per week. Early drop-off from 07:00 and late pick-up until 18:30 are available on request; simply indicate this on the enrolment form and we will contact you to discuss the details.
We work closely with primary school De Krokodaris, situated in the same building just a few steps away. In partnership with the municipality we also take part in the OKAY project – “at home in language and play” – which supports toddlers’ language development and eases the transition to primary school. Our qualified staff observe each child closely and tailor activities to individual needs. Through play we practise vocabulary, early numeracy and social skills so that every child enters the next phase with confidence.
In short, Kindcentrum Krokodaris is a safe, homely place where your child can grow in a rich, cultural environment. We provide trust, structure and plenty of space to play and explore. Together with parents we ensure that even the youngest children get off to a flying start.Read more
