About this care
Welcome to daycare Dikkie Dik in Gorinchem! We are located at H. de Ruyterstraat 36, in the same building as primary school JP Waale, toddler care Ookie Dookie and after-school care Lingeplein. Thanks to excellent cooperation between the school and SKG, children experience a seamless developmental path from their start at daycare to leaving primary school.
In our standalone building with spacious outdoor area, there is plenty to discover and experience for your child. The group room is cozily furnished with attention to all ages. Our pedagogical staff create a safe environment where curiosity is stimulated and children can go on a journey of discovery. Outdoor play is a daily activity in our large playground, where there is much to explore.
We provide care for children aged 0 to 4 years in a horizontal group structure, with babies and toddlers cared for separately to best meet their specific needs. We offer preschool education (VE) and half-day care is available. Our opening hours are Monday to Friday from 07:00 - 18:30.Read more
