About this care

AI
Welcome to Kinderopvang de Giraffe at Schuilenburgerweg 4 in Hellendoorn – our newest location, housed in a charming former infant school that we have lovingly transformed into a warm and cosy childcare centre. As part of Kinderopvang De Giraffe Wingerd B.V. we provide day-care for up to 35 children aged 0 to 4. Our qualified pedagogical staff are ready every day to support your child’s development through play in a familiar environment. We follow the VVE programme Uk & Puk, focusing on language and speech development. Through themed activities, story time and songs we spark children’s curiosity and expand their vocabulary. Groups are arranged horizontally, giving babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers their own age-specific space to play, rest and explore at their own level. Our large, secure garden invites outdoor play and nature discovery. Inside, separate sleep rooms allow children to rest peacefully. Flexible care is available from as little as half an hour, so you can choose the schedule that best suits your family. Our goal is to give every child personal attention so they feel valued and at ease. Together we give your child a flying start in life.
