About this care

AI
Welcome to Kinderdagverblijf De Kleine Buddha, a warm and trusted place right in the heart of Grave. We are located at Koninginnedijk 252 in the atmospheric Catharinahof, where our small-scale childcare has been a second home for children aged 0 to 4 since 2015. The name ‘De Kleine Buddha’ refers to symbolic values such as happiness, love, self-worth and eternal friendship – exactly the values we live by in our daily care for your child. Our organisation is set up as a sole proprietorship and offers places for up to 16 children per day. This deliberately small scale enables us to give real attention to each child and to respond flexibly to parents’ wishes. We work with two clear age groups: one baby group for children aged 0-2 and one toddler group for children aged 2-4. The toddler group offers both regular day care and the toddler programme, so your child can move seamlessly within the same familiar environment. At De Kleine Buddha, connection is key. Our location in Catharinahof provides excellent opportunities to engage with the Grave community. Whenever possible, we actively involve the children, always in close consultation with you as a parent. We believe that children develop best in a homely atmosphere where peace, warmth and cosiness prevail. Our pedagogical staff deliberately create an environment in which your child feels safe and at home, so that it can grow and flourish with pleasure. We offer quality and affordable childcare. Thanks to our small-scale approach, we keep the lines short and you can count on personal attention and clear communication. Are you curious about our approach or do you have specific wishes? Feel free to contact us at info@dekleinebuddha.nl – we will be happy to tell you more about how we can guide your child during these important first years of life.
