About this care
Kinderdagverblijf Small Ones at Gloriantstraat 1 in Amsterdam provides professional childcare for children aged 0 to 4 years in a homely atmosphere of security, safety and trust. This location works with vertical groups where a maximum of 14 children are cared for per day. When fully occupied, four pedagogical staff members are available to guide the children.
Our facility is within walking distance of Erasmuspark, where we regularly take the children for fun excursions and to discover nature. Opposite our location there is also a playground where children can romp and play.
We use the Gordon Method where communication is central. Not only to make clear what we expect from each other, but also to teach children how to express their feelings and interact with others. Our pedagogical approach is based on four basic goals focused on the development of each child.
At Small Ones, your child will quickly feel at home thanks to our warm and familiar approach. We create an environment where children feel safe to play, discover and grow at their own pace.Read more
