About this care
Welcome to Kinderdagverblijf Meerdijk, located at Bislett 7 in the heart of Emmen. Since opening in August 2010, our Meerdijk location has provided loving and professional childcare for children aged 0 to 4. Our daycare groups are divided into horizontal age groups: the Dribbels and Sprinters (0-3 years) and the Jumpers and Spetters (2-5 years). Each group has a maximum of 16 children and is guided by a consistent team of 3 to 4 pedagogical staff members with child-focused education at MBO or HBO level.
Discovery, exploration and experimentation are central to our approach. We give children all the space they need to develop through play. Outdoor play is one of our key pillars: we have a very large green outdoor area where we spend as much time as possible – even when it’s drizzling. Additionally, we provide pre-school education (VE) to give children aged 2.5-4 extra stimulation in language, math and social skills.
We believe it’s important that every child feels safe and secure. That’s why we work with consistent caregivers, a dedicated mentor for each child, and individual bedding and sleeping bags that are washed weekly. Parents stay informed through our online parent portal with daily reports and photos. Feel free to come by for a tour and experience the warm atmosphere of Kinderdagverblijf Meerdijk yourself!Read more

Men zoontje vind het erg leuk, zelf vind ik dat er leuke leidsters zijn. Wel vind ik het erg schoftig dat als je kindje een hele maand niet heen gaat ...
Voor de kinderen is het een prettig dagverblijf. Helaas worden gemaakte afspraken worden NIET nagekomen! Administratief gezien is het bedrijf een puin...
