About this care
Peuteropvang De Ballon is located on the ground floor of primary school Het Meerrijk at Gevers van Endegeeststraat 2 in Kampen. We provide toddler mornings for children aged 2 to 4 years. The location accommodates up to 16 toddlers and operates with horizontal groups, allowing children to play and learn in a calm, safe environment with peers of the same age. Our team of pedagogical staff guides the children in play and developmental activities that match their world of experience. The spaces are designed to stimulate toddlers' curiosity and challenge them in social-emotional, motor and language development. We work closely with the primary school, which promotes a smooth transition to primary education.Read more
