About this care
Welcome to SKSG Paddeltje, our daycare centre located at Loefzijde 4 in the green Lewenborg district. We provide childcare for children aged 0 to 4 in a calm and safe environment. The entire building is themed around shipping: it has a wavy roof and the groups are named Scheepsmaten, Matrozen and Kapiteintjes. For the youngest we have two baby groups (0-2 years) with specialised staff and a private baby garden. The toddler groups (2-4 years) follow the VVE programme Piramide, through which we stimulate development in social-emotional, motor and cognitive areas in a playful way. We read aloud daily, sing songs and focus on language development. Toddlers can also join the Nijntje Movement Diploma. Throughout the year we work with changing themes that match young children's world of experience. Diapers and formula are included. Opening hours are 07:30 – 18:00, with extended care available by arrangement.Read more
