About this care
Kindercentrum Stoombol is located in the heart of Alkmaar’s Spoorbuurt district at Snaarmanslaan 19, inside the monumental building of primary school Bello. This beautiful, characteristic building offers a cozy and warm atmosphere. We provide daycare for children aged 0 to 4 in a vertical group. Our center is open from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM and staffed exclusively by qualified pedagogical professionals. We are HKZ certified and offer an accredited Early Childhood Education (VVE) program.
We use the Uk&Puk VVE program, focused on language development and a smooth transition to primary school. We read stories aloud daily, sing songs, and encourage language through conversation. Children have access to a private outdoor play area and can also use the playground of primary school Bello. Optional warm meals are available through Spoony.
Our group is set up as a homely vertical baby-toddler group. Separate sleeping areas are available, and we follow each child’s individual sleep rhythm. Bottle feeding is provided, and fresh fruit and drinks are included. For children with allergies or dietary needs, we maintain a feeding list. Communication with parents is handled through the Rollebol Parent Portal, featuring daily photos and reports.Read more
