Stichting Peuterspeelzaal 'De Poeh'

Welcome to Peuterspeelzaal De Poeh, located in the characteristic school building of the Utrechtse Schoolvereniging at Frans Halsstraat 22a in Utrecht. As an independent foundation, we have been providing a trusted and safe environment for toddlers aged 2 to 4 for over 25 years. Our team of experienced pedagogical staff welcomes children in small, horizontal groups where each child has space to grow at their own pace. At De Poeh, we believe that play is the most powerful way to learn. Our spacious, bright group areas invite exploration, building, hiding and playing together. We offer a rich variety of developmental materials that connect with toddlers' world of experience: from sand and water tables to a real kitchen corner where children can 'cook' themselves. The direct connection to our enclosed outdoor playground makes being outside a natural part of our day. Our approach is designed to give children confidence and spark their curiosity. We follow the child's rhythm and offer structure without rigidity. Mornings are filled with free play time, joint activities such as singing and reading aloud, and of course a healthy snack with fresh fruit. Collaboration with parents is very important to us: through our parent committee and daily contact moments, we keep communication lines short. Peuterspeelzaal De Poeh is a true neighborhood playgroup where generations of Utrecht children have taken their first steps outside home. We are proud of our informal atmosphere and the fact that many families find us through word of mouth. For parents looking for a place where their child feels safe and challenged, De Poeh is a trusted choice.
