About this care
Kindercentrum De Kids Loods is located at Walmolenstraat 3 in the Molenbuurt district of Almere Buiten and has provided a homely second home for children aged 0–4 since 2014. We are small-scale and personal: a fixed team of pedagogical staff ensures every child feels safe, seen and comfortable.
At our daycare the development of the child’s ‘own self’ is central. We follow the child’s lead and encourage initiative; children explore the world through play. Close communication with parents lets us align seamlessly with what your child is used to at home, keeping the transition from home to daycare minimal.
Our rooms are designed as a safe environment where the youngest can play, sleep and eat. We are open from 06:30 to 19:00 and offer flexible contracts so you can choose what suits your family best. We currently operate a waiting list; feel free to contact us for a tour or an informal introductory meeting.Read more
