About this care
Welcome to Kinderdagverblijf Calimero, located at Bizetstraat 5 in Ridderkerk. For fourteen years, we have been providing flexible childcare with professional care for children aged 0 to 4 years. We are a small-scale and cozy childcare location in the Slikkerveer district where the building radiates a pleasant atmosphere.
Our daycare consists of separate groups tailored to your child's developmental stage. For the youngest ones, we have the baby group "de Kuikentjes" for children aged 0 - 1.5/2 years. For toddlers and preschoolers, there is the "de Eendjes" group for children aged 2 - 4 years. This age-based grouping ensures that your child receives the appropriate stimulation and care that matches their developmental level.
Every child is unique in our eyes and is surrounded with lots of care, love, and attention. Kinderdagverblijf Calimero is a place where children can be themselves and where children feel safe and secure. Our permanent staff members in each group provide continuity and a familiar environment for your child.
We work with a pedagogical coach who oversees the quality of our childcare. Additionally, we offer the UK & PUK language development program for children aged 0-4 years, through which we stimulate your child's language development in a playful manner.
Flexibility is highly valued by us. We offer tailored childcare where you can reserve the days and hours when you need care. For parents who work or study, Kinderdagverblijf Calimero is the ideal place where they can bring their child with peace of mind.Read more
