About this care
Peuterspeelschool De Akker is part of Integral Child Centre (IKC) De Akker, located at P.C. Hooftlaan 200 in Hengelo. We offer a safe, green and stimulating environment for toddlers aged 2 to 4, where they learn through play and prepare for primary school. Our preschool operates under the motto ‘Moving together; preparing for the future’.
Children can attend for 8 hours per week (two sessions) or 16 hours per week (four sessions). Sessions run from 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM. The official entrance for toddlers is on Jan Prinsstraat, opposite house number 38. We work with fixed groups and a consistent teacher, ensuring each child experiences the stability and recognition needed for optimal development.
At Peuterspeelschool De Akker, enjoyment is central. We believe that fun is the foundation for success and that children learn best when they feel safe and happy. Our pedagogical staff provide tailored attention, adapting their approach to each child's developmental needs. We have ample outdoor space where nature plays a significant role. Children can play freely, explore and move here.
We collaborate closely with the primary school and childcare within IKC De Akker, creating a continuous developmental line from 0 to 12 years. Parents can approach us with any questions about their child's development. We value open communication and trust, always welcoming conversations and inviting parents to participate and observe.
Peuterspeelschool De Akker is part of Spring! childcare and falls under Stichting Symbio Hengelo. The GGD annually verifies our compliance with all requirements of the Childcare Act and preschool quality standards. Inspection reports are publicly available via LRK number 367374614.Read more
