Peutercombi voorschool Dikkie Dik

Peutercombi voorschool Dikkie Dik is located on the ground floor of primary school De Scholekster at Karel du Jardinstraat 76 in the heart of Amsterdam-Zuid. We provide half-day toddler care for up to 16 children aged 2 to 4, five mornings a week from 8:30 AM to 1:20 PM, all year round. Our programme follows the national Early Childhood Education curriculum ‘Uk & Puk’, focusing on language, social skills and early numeracy. We blend this with Montessori-inspired elements: children are encouraged to choose, explore and play independently in small groups. The room is arranged into themed corners – home, construction, arts and reading – that change with each project. In this way toddlers learn to cooperate, stand up for themselves and help others while having fun. Close cooperation with De Scholekster means the children become familiar with the school setting early on. They use the same materials and methods, making the move to group 1 smooth and familiar. Two qualified pedagogical staff guide the children with care and attention, ensuring every child feels safe and valued. We have our own secure outdoor play area where children can enjoy fresh air and develop their motor skills daily. Fruit and drinks are included. Peutercombi voorschool Dikkie Dik is part of Stichting Combiwel voor Kinderen and is inspected by the Municipal Health Service (GGD).
