About this care
Welcome to St. Jan daycare in Valkenswaard! At this location, your child will explore nature every day. In our spacious discovery garden, complete with a vegetable patch, rabbits, and chickens, children can play freely, climb, run and discover. Inside, our natural interior perfectly reflects our vision: calm, space, and learning through all the senses. From cooking in the kitchen café to exploring the green outdoor area, every child here is given the space to develop at their own pace.
Our pedagogical professionals work in their own team in a fixed group. They invest in getting to know your child and their character. In this way we easily build a relationship of trust with each other. We seamlessly connect to the needs of your child.
We work with the KidsAdmin parent app. This allows us to let you know how your child is doing through personal messages and photos. Parents can read news about the location, view photos, but also report their child sick or report holidays via the app on their smartphone or tablet.Read more
