About this care
Peuterspeelzaal Zoeff ! is a small-scale toddler care facility operated by Zoople Velsen, located at Eenhoornstraat 2C in IJmuiden. We provide care for a maximum of 16 children aged 2 to 4 years. Our location has been officially registered in the National Childcare Register since July 18, 2017, under number 214173392.
At Peuterspeelzaal Zoeff !, learning through play is central to our approach. We work with the VVE program Startblokken, specially developed for additional language stimulation to give children a good start in primary school. Toddlers who need extra language support can attend two additional sessions with a referral from the consultation bureau.
Our pedagogical staff create a warm and relaxed atmosphere where children feel safe, develop self-confidence, and can be curious about their environment. We focus on observing, following, identifying, and stimulating the development of each child individually.
As part of Zoople Velsen, we believe in the power of connection. We are located in the heart of the neighborhood and involve family and community as much as possible in raising the children. Our mission is to help children develop, grow, and enjoy themselves, where simply being allowed to be a child is the most important thing.Read more
