About this care
Kindcentrum Prins Willem Alexander is located at Buizerdlaan 2 in Nijkerk and is part of the Protestant Christian Education Foundation Gelderse Vallei (PCOGV). We provide toddler care with Early Childhood Education (ECE) for children aged 2 to 4 years. Our mission is to guide children in their development into responsible, enterprising and unique individuals from a foundation of safety and trust.
Our pedagogical staff create a safe, language-rich and stimulating environment where children learn through play and can discover their talents. We work with a continuous development line from 0 to 13 years, with toddler care being an important first step in this development. Activities are tailored to each child's age and developmental stage, with special attention to language development and social skills.
We offer toddler care on weekdays from 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM. During these mornings, children receive a healthy snack and can enjoy our safe and challenging play environment. Our location has its own outdoor playground where children can play and explore. We believe it's important for parents to be involved in their child's development and use the Konnect app for daily communication about how the day went.
As a Protestant Christian childcare center, we express our identity in a contemporary way. We celebrate Christian holidays and tell Bible stories in a child-friendly manner. At the same time, we are open to all children regardless of cultural or religious background. We believe every child is unique and want every child to feel welcome with us.Read more
