About this care
We are Montessori Kinderopvang De Waterberg, located at Schelmseweg 93 in Arnhem. Our setting is surrounded by woods, close to the Open Air Museum. We provide small-scale daycare with three horizontal groups: baby, toddler and pre-schooler. The Montessori philosophy underpins everything we do; we believe in the power of the ‘prepared environment’ and follow the principle ‘Help me to do it myself’. Each room is carefully arranged into zones with sustainable materials that invite children to explore and learn independently. Our central kitchen table is the heart of the location, where parents, staff and children meet in a homely atmosphere. We are open Monday to Friday from 07:30 to 18:30 all year round. Half-day care is available. We welcome children from 0 to 4 years and work closely with Montessori primary schools to ensure a continuous developmental path.Read more
