About this care
Kinderdagverblijf De Speelboom is part of Castricum's first Child Center, a unique concept where different forms of childcare and education come together under one roof. We provide care for children aged 0 to 4 years in a cozy, homely environment with plenty of space to develop.
Our location uses a new and bright space in the sustainably built school complex. We have various corners set up where children can retreat for play and relaxation, tailored to their age and interests. The youngest children play safely in our specially designed baby garden, while older children can use the gym and the spacious schoolyard with sandbox.
We work with vertical groups where children of different ages play and learn together. This approach stimulates social development and ensures that young and old learn from each other. With a maximum of 12 children per group, we offer small-scale, personal care where each child receives the attention they deserve.
Kinderdagverblijf De Speelboom is open from 7:30 AM to 6:30 PM, with a minimum purchase of 2 half-days. We are part of Forte Kinderopvang and collaborate with OBS De Montessori, ensuring a seamless transition to primary education.Read more
