About this care
Welcome to Bruintje Beer Leens, a small-scale preschool located at R. Ritzemastraat 2A in Leens. As part of Stichting Goud Kinderopvang, we provide care for up to 8 children aged 2.5 to 4 years. Our location has been officially registered since August 26, 2019, and is known for its warm, homely atmosphere.
We use the VVE program Piramide, which focuses on all areas of child development through play. This includes language development, motor skills, social interaction, and spatial awareness. Our experienced pedagogical staff provide a safe and stimulating environment where children can explore in our spacious garden with plenty of greenery and play opportunities.
Thematic learning is central to our approach. We align our activities with the children's experiences and work closely with local primary schools to ensure a smooth transition to elementary education. Parents appreciate our personal approach and the fact that we take time for each individual child.
At Bruintje Beer, we value parental involvement. We regularly organize parent meetings and offer individual progress discussions. Our small scale ensures we know every parent and child well, contributing to a familiar and safe environment for your toddler.Read more
