About this care
Peuterspeelzaal De Ukkepuk is a branch of Stichting Peuterspeelzalen Hardinxveld-Giessendam, located inside the IKC Merwede building at Hobbemastraat 5 in Boven-Hardinxveld. We provide toddler care for up to 16 children aged approximately 2 to 4 years. Our bright, spacious group room is open to all toddlers, regardless of background, religion or culture.
The children are guided by qualified pedagogical staff who hold VVE (pre- and early-school education) certificates. Through play they work on the children’s all-round development, so that each child can start primary school with a well-filled backpack of skills. We offer VVE programmes that provide a rich language environment; children with language delays receive extra activities based on an individual attention plan.
For children from about 3 years who need more challenge, we run a 3+ group. During these afternoon sessions the children are encouraged to develop independence and social skills, preparing them even better for primary school.
Morning or afternoon sessions are available. Registration is easy via our website.Read more
