About this care
Welcome to Thuizbij Kortenhoef, our day-care centre located at Julianaweg 11a in the heart of Kortenhoef. We are Stichting Kinderopvang ’s-Graveland, a trusted name in the village since 1990. Since February 2016 we have been housed in the characteristic building ‘De Matrijs’, a former day-care facility for adults that we have transformed into a homely place where up to 66 children aged 0 to 4 quickly feel at home.
Our small scale is our strength. By deliberately staying small we know every child and every parent personally. We work with four horizontal groups: two baby groups and two toddler groups. In addition, we offer a playgroup and half-day care. The spacious group rooms flow seamlessly into a large, green garden with no surrounding traffic, so children can play, explore and grow outside safely.
Pedagogically, we work from one simple principle: everyone should feel at home. Our permanent, experienced pedagogical staff provide a warm, safe environment in which every child is given the space to develop at his or her own pace. We follow a clear daily routine, within which there is room for rest, play, pre-school education (VVE) and of course lots of personal attention. Parents find an open door with us: we communicate transparently via our parent portal and are always ready for a chat or consultation.
Feel free to drop by for a tour. We are happy to show you how we put our values into practice in our daily work with the children and answer all your questions about care, daily rhythms and our approach. At Thuizbij Kortenhoef personal contact comes first, so you really know who is taking care of your child every day.Read more
