About this care
Peuterspeelzaal Pinkeltje I, located at Zichthof 10 in Purmerend, has provided trusted, small-scale childcare for toddlers aged 2-4 for over 45 years. As a VVE (Early Childhood Education) site, we follow the Parnassys curriculum so that our themed activities align with Dutch kindergarten groups 1 and 2, making the step from preschool to primary school feel effortless for children.
Our qualified staff welcome up to 16 children per morning (08:15-12:15) or afternoon (12:45-16:45) session, Monday to Friday (Wednesday afternoon closed). In bright, spacious rooms and a secure outdoor play area, toddlers enjoy crafts, singing, story time and free play that stimulate language, motor and social development.
