Kinderdagverblijf De Spiegel

Kinderdagverblijf De Spiegel is a small-scale daycare centre in Zaandam, offering a warm, safe and familiar environment for up to 32 children aged 0 to 4. We work in one vertical group where babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers play, explore and grow together. This set-up encourages social development and gives the youngest children the comfort of familiar faces throughout the day. Our centre is located on the grounds of primary school De Spiegel. This close proximity makes the transition from daycare to school exceptionally smooth. We regularly use the school playground and gym, so the children become familiar with the surroundings they will later encounter at school. We provide Early Childhood Education (ECE). This means we follow an accredited programme that playfully stimulates toddlers’ language development, motor skills, social abilities and creativity. Our pedagogical staff receive regular training and work closely with the primary school teachers to guide each child’s development optimally. At TintelTuin we believe children need space to be themselves. Therefore we only offer full-day care, ensuring enough time for rest, play, relaxation and development. Hourly or half-day care is not available; we want to safeguard continuity and calm for the children. Our rooms are bright, fresh and furnished with natural materials that stimulate without overwhelming. We have a safe indoor and outdoor space where children can climb, clamber, cycle and explore. We go outside whenever the weather allows, as outdoor play stimulates the child’s brain and promotes motor development. Kinderdagverblijf De Spiegel is for parents seeking small-scale, committed childcare in the heart of Zaandam. We warmly invite you for a tour so you can experience our approach and see how your child will feel at home with us.
