About this care
Kindcentrum Sprankel is housed in a remarkable building: a former Roman-Catholic church located at Nieuwe Akkers 18 in Paterswolde. From this unique setting we provide childcare for children aged 0 to 4. Our approach is ecological and holistic, allowing every child to develop in his or her own way—engaging head, heart and hands.
We offer flexible childcare based on an hourly rate. You only pay for the hours you actually use; no charges apply during holidays or when you pick up your child earlier. This keeps you in control and ensures the care fits your family’s rhythm.
Inside the church we have created two spacious group rooms. The youngest children (0-4 years) have their own room with familiar faces and a homely atmosphere. Surrounding the building is a large, fenced outdoor area where children can play, explore and take on new challenges. The playground offers plenty of opportunities for outdoor learning and fun.
Our team consists of Els van Beek and Marlous Arends. Both have extensive experience in childcare and share the same vision: a child must feel safe and valued in order to develop his or her talents. We stand for respectful guidance, personal attention and a warm, familiar environment. Feel free to visit us for a tour and experience the atmosphere of Kindcentrum Sprankel yourself.Read more
