About this care
Peuteropvang Kaleidoskoop Columbus is located within De Kaleidoskoop primary school building at Columbuslaan 40 in Utrecht. We provide professional toddler care for children aged 2 to 4 years. In our safe and familiar environment, toddlers have space to learn and grow through play.
We work with a recognized developmental method using themed activities. Within each theme, we stimulate different developmental areas including language skills, social-emotional development, and motor skills. Our activities are specifically tailored to the age and development of toddlers. We sing songs, read stories, draw and craft. Of course, there is also plenty of opportunity to play and discover outdoors.
As a parent, you are an important partner to us. We believe collaboration with parents is essential for your child's development. Thanks to our location within the school building, we offer a perfect transition to primary school. Most children flow directly from our care to De Kaleidoskoop primary school, Columbuslaan location.
Our pedagogical staff pay close attention to each individual child, ensuring every child can develop at their own pace. We provide a warm and safe environment where toddlers can play with peers and discover new skills.Read more
