About this care
Welcome to Kinderdagverblijf Casa Capretti, located at El Grecostraat 3 in Almere. Our daycare center is part of Kinderopvang Casa Capretti B.V. and offers small-scale professional childcare in a homely atmosphere. We have space for 24 children and are located within the Castrovalva care and residential center in Tussen de Vaarten.
Everything we do revolves around emotional safety and security. We work from four pedagogical core objectives: providing emotional security, promoting personal competencies so children learn to function independently, developing social competencies to build relationships, and stimulating socialization so children learn to interact respectfully with others.
Our group spaces are bright and equipped with various play areas tailored to the age and needs of the children. For the youngest ones, we have a playpen where they can play undisturbed. Older children can choose from different play areas such as a home corner, construction corner, car corner, and a craft cabinet full of challenging materials. We have special toddler-plus materials for the oldest toddlers to prepare them for primary school.
A special feature of our location is the collaboration with the elderly from the adjacent residential facility. Children regularly interact with the elderly through joint activities such as thematic crafting, singing songs, or playing games. The enclosed inner garden of the elderly is also accessible to us, where we play outside with the oldest toddlers. This contact contributes to the children's social development and has a calming effect through the unconditional attention from the elderly.
Our rates include diapers, food, and a warm meal. We offer daycare from 7:00-18:00 or extended care until 19:00. Due to our small-scale character, we know all children and parents well, ensuring personal contact and a familiar environment that feels like a safe second home for your child.Read more

Prettige kleinschalige kinderdagverblijf. Wij hebben bewust voor een kleiner kinderdagverblijf gekozen. Voordelen te over: alle juffen kennen alle kin...
Super leuke kinder opvang! Wij hebben onze zoon daar en raden het iedereen aan!
