About this care
Welcome to MAM’s Kinderopvang Canadalaan, our warm daycare centre right in the heart of Apeldoorn. Since 2012 we have been guiding children from 3 months to 4 years in a safe, homely environment that perfectly matches their stage of development. We welcome up to 43 children in small-scale, mixed-age groups where babies, toddlers and preschoolers play and learn together.
Our vision is simple: every child is unique and deserves the space to discover, play and grow at their own pace. Our team of qualified MAM’s Specialists therefore creates a rich, prepared environment full of challenging toys, natural materials and quiet corners. We follow your child’s world of experience and encourage ‘doing it yourself’; from the first independent bite to putting on a coat. Creative activities such as drawing, crafts and story time alternate with outdoor play in our secure garden, where children can run, build sandcastles and explore nature.
For the very youngest we have separate sleeping rooms with cribs and beds, a feeding corner for breastfeeding or bottle feeding, and of course plenty of nappies and care products. We work closely with you on sleep routines, feeding and toilet training; our participation in the Plasklas shows that we approach this calmly and child-centred. We also offer early childhood education (VVE), so your child develops language and numeracy skills through play.
Would you like to bring your child for just half a day? That is possible. Flexible childcare days and times make our care practical and tailored. Together with you, we give your child a warm foundation of trust, joy and development.Read more
