About this care
Welcome to the daycare center of IKC Socrates, located at Meetketting 5 in the Bangert-Oosterpolder district of Zwaag. As part of the Talent Foundation for care and education, we provide childcare for children aged 0 to 4 years in a safe and stimulating environment. Our location has 84 childcare places and is registered in the National Childcare Register under number 663515646.
We operate according to a horizontal group structure, where children are grouped by age. The baby groups are named Klaproos and Klavertje Vier, while the toddler groups are called Boterbloem, Ranonkels, Rozen and Tulpen. This arrangement ensures a targeted approach that matches your child's developmental stage.
Our pedagogical staff provide warm and professional care, with your child's development at the center. We create an environment where children feel safe and can explore. As part of the Integrated Child Center Socrates, we work closely with the primary school, enabling a smooth transition to primary education.
