About this care
Welcome to Sheppard's House at Hawaiiweg 3 in Almere Buiten. We provide small-scale childcare for up to 12 children in one homely day-care group. Jesus is at the heart of everything we do; rooted in God's love, we teach children that they are unique, precious and special. Our qualified pedagogical staff create a safe, stable environment where children feel free to develop and discover their talents.
Our daily routine is calm and predictable. The day starts at 07:00 with a communal breakfast, followed by free play. Around 09:00 we serve fruit and drinks and organise a joint activity, after which children can play freely again. At 11:30 the children have bread and drinks, then rest time. After the midday nap we serve a snack and drinks at 14:30, followed by more free play. At 16:00 a warm meal is provided and we close the day together with an activity and some more play. Just before going home, at 18:30, the children receive yoghurt or a sandwich.
Food, nappies and toddler gym are included. We offer two clear packages: Package Diamond (€ 11.23 per hour) for fixed days and times over 51 weeks, and Package Bronze (€ 12.00 per hour) for flexible care with a minimum of 50 hours per month. Registration is possible via our online form; a one-time registration fee of € 25 applies. Our location is open Monday to Friday from 07:00 to 18:30.Read more
