About this care
Welcome to Kindergarden Driebergen Valentijn, located in the characteristic Villa Valentijn at Valentijn 40 in Driebergen-Rijsenburg. In this beautiful, characteristic villa with authentic wooden details, we create a safe, loving and stimulating environment for children aged 0 to 4 years. Everything in and around our location is thoughtfully designed, as we believe that everything around a child can have a positive influence.
Our horizontal group structure consists of four age-specific groups: a baby group (0-2 years), a toddler group (1-3 years), a preschool group (2-4 years) and a special preschool+ group (3+ years) to prepare for elementary school. This group structure ensures that activities, play materials and daily routines are optimally tailored to your child's developmental stage. In our baby groups, children can play and relax in peace with choices including a black-and-white corner, reading corner, kitchen block, large play mat or mirror with sensory tiles.
Our pedagogical staff provide lots of personal attention and follow our pedagogical program Wereldwijs. This program focuses on creating a rich learning environment tailored to your child's world of experience. We start each morning with circle time where we call out names, count children and use word cards to stimulate social interaction. For the oldest preschoolers, we organize special activities to prepare for elementary school, consciously splitting the group to respond to different developmental phases.
Daily, our preschoolers move with the interactive movement program Friends call me Jim. Based on characters and magical stories, we stimulate imagination and experience, helping children discover the joy of movement. Our spacious, green garden invites children to play and explore, while the balcony is specially designed as an outdoor space for our youngest children.
We provide daily fresh, warm meals and baby food in our own kitchen. Diapers, wipes from Pampers and Naty, care products from Naïf and Sudocrem are included. For bottle feeding, we use brands like Nutrilon, Hipp Bio, Biobim and Pure Goat Company. A children's hairdresser visits our location once every 8 weeks for those who wish. Our opening hours are Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 6:30 PM.Read more
