Welcome to Kindercentrum Twinkel, a small-scale daycare center in the heart of Kollum. Since August 2012, Trea Alkema and Sijtske Broersma, both born and raised in Kollum with a background in primary education, have been the proud owners of this special place. We provide loving care in a safe environment for children aged 0 to 4 years. Our daycare center is officially registered and has a capacity for up to 32 children.
At Kindercentrum Twinkel, we have an eye for every child and approach children in a positive manner. We believe in the importance of a homely atmosphere where every child feels safe and loved. Our approach is focused on providing peace, structure, and warmth, so that children can develop optimally. We believe it is important that children are given the space to play, discover, and learn at their own pace.
Our meals are vegetarian, contributing to a sustainable and healthy lifestyle. We believe it is important that children not only learn about healthy eating but also enjoy tasty and nutritious meals. Our location in the center of Kollum makes us easily accessible for parents in the area.
Kindercentrum Twinkel is more than just a daycare center; it is a place where children enjoy going and where parents can bring their children with peace of mind. We invite you to visit our website for more information and hope to welcome you soon into our warm community.Read more
