About this care
Welcome to Maraboe, our daycare centre located at Tarbotstraat 18 in Helmond. As part of Stichting Spring Kinderopvang we have provided reliable, professional childcare for up to 63 children aged 0–4 since 1998. The centre is set in a green environment where movement and outdoor play are central. Our spacious outdoor play area blends into the surrounding nature and gives your child plenty of room to play and grow. We believe children develop best when they feel safe and at home. Together with parents we observe and listen to what moves and engages each individual child. Our qualified pedagogical staff are ready to guide your child’s development, with fun in play and discovery at the heart of everything we do.Read more
