About this care
Welcome to Kindercentrum Duckie, a small-scale childcare center in the heart of De Lier. We provide daycare for children aged 0 to 4 years in a warm and homely environment. Our center is located in a bright and spacious building at Van Rijnstraat 26, uniquely situated under one roof with the library. This special collaboration offers our children the opportunity to become acquainted with books and reading from an early age.
At Duckie, we work with three vertical groups, where children of different ages play and learn together. This setup stimulates social development and gives younger children the chance to learn from older children. Our group spaces are bright and spaciously designed, with great attention paid to creating a safe and challenging play environment. The large indoor garden is a real eye-catcher and offers plenty of opportunities for outdoor play and discovery.
We believe it's important that every child feels safe and secure. Our professional childcare staff are ready to give each child the attention they deserve. We work from a clear pedagogical vision, based on the unique developmental needs of each child. Through play, children discover the world around them, while we challenge them to try new things and develop their own talents.
Kindercentrum Duckie is part of Stichting Kwest, a reliable childcare organization in the Westland region. We are officially registered in the National Childcare Register and guarantee quality care that meets the needs of both children and parents.Read more
