About this care
This daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) run by Klein Alkmaar at Houtweg 29 in Alkmaar was recently expanded and boasts a unique location in the Nassaukwartier, right by the Westerhout. The location radiates a natural sense of calm and relaxation, giving children a tremendous feeling of being outdoors, adventure, and discovery. We have a beautiful, large, green outdoor space surrounded by the trees of the Westerhout. Here, children can burn off all their energy, but just as easily enjoy wonderful explorations. Specially for the very youngest, we have a sheltered outdoor area with a sunshade.Read more
