About this care
Peuterspelen Paus Joannes is located at De Weer 25 in Zaandam and is part of TintelTuin/PeuterTuin. We provide toddler care – known locally as ‘peuterspelen’ – for children aged 2 to 4 years. With a maximum of 16 places, we keep our groups small and familiar so every child receives the attention they need.
Our programme is designed to prepare your child for primary school through play. We use recognised Early Childhood Education (VVE) programmes that focus on language development, motor skills, social interaction and creativity. Each morning or afternoon our experienced pedagogical staff create a safe, nurturing environment where your child can grow.
Sessions are offered as morning or afternoon care; full-day care is not available. The setting is within walking distance of De Weer shopping centre and works closely with Paus Joannes primary school, ensuring a smooth transition into formal education. Parents can easily request a tour or register their child through our website.
We believe parents and children should feel at home from day one. Open communication and personal attention are therefore central to our approach. Together we ensure your toddler takes the first steps towards primary school with confidence and joy.Read more
