About this care
Peutergroep De Dukendonck is a daycare centre for toddlers aged 2-4, located in a cosy annexe of the De Dukendonck community school at Tolhuis 4450, Nijmegen. We provide care Monday to Friday from 8:45-11:45 and on Monday and Friday afternoons from 12:30-15:30 (Friday afternoon is “Taalwijs”). Our two group rooms – the Acrobats and the Clowns – are modern and feature different play corners and a rotating theme corner that links to the topic being followed by De Dukendonck primary school. This close collaboration allows us to organise joint projects such as art exhibitions, ensuring a smooth transition into Year 1-2.
Outside, children enjoy our own green, sheltered garden with a gnome forest where they can explore and play under supervision. We use an Early Childhood Education (VVE) programme that stimulates language, numeracy, social-emotional skills and motor development. Our experienced, caring staff create a warm, respectful atmosphere where every child feels safe and learns through play.

Super leuke en goed georganiseerde openbare basisschool. Een voordeel is dat het een brede school is en daardoor samenwerkt met partners. Bijvoorbeeld...
