About this care
Welcome to daycare De Sint Jan, located on the ground floor of primary school St. Jan at Haaksbergerstraat 255 in Enschede. We are part of Kindcentrum St. Jan, an integral child center where childcare and education seamlessly come together. Our location offers both daycare and preschool care in one, specially designed for children aged 2 to 4 years.
At our daycare, children literally have the space to be themselves. We offer large, bright indoor spaces and a challenging outdoor area where children can explore and play every day. There's always something to do: from fun games and crafts to enjoying quiet moments together. We pay great attention to healthy eating and outdoor play, as a healthy lifestyle starts young.
Our pedagogical staff create a safe and challenging environment where children can develop optimally. We offer a range of activities that connect with toddlers' world of experience. Every day is different and offers new opportunities to learn and grow. This way, we ensure a good start before children make the transition to primary school.
Daycare De Sint Jan is open Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 6:30 PM. We work intensively with primary school St. Jan, creating a natural continuous line in your child's development.Read more
