About this care
Welcome to Happy Kids Peuteropvang at Zonnebloemweg 68 in Almere-Buiten. We provide professional preschool education for children aged 2 to 4 years in a safe and stimulating environment that closely resembles the home situation. Each child is unique with their own character and develops at their own pace.
Our toddler care uses the recognized Uk & Puk program, a comprehensive approach centered around play. Through play, children discover the world around them and develop new skills. Our pedagogical staff actively guide children in their development while maintaining a warm, homely atmosphere.
The location at Zonnebloemweg 68 is specially designed for toddlers and offers a safe learning environment. We work with horizontal groups where children of the same age play and learn together. This stimulates social development and allows us to specifically address the needs of this age group.
Parents can choose half-day care where their child participates in our preschool education program. This program optimally prepares your child for primary school and aligns with the developmental goals for children aged 2-4 years.Read more
