About this care
Welcome to Tovertuin, our small-scale VVE toddler playgroup located at Melis Stokelaan 93 in Harderwijk. We provide a safe and stimulating environment for up to 16 children aged 2 to 4 years. As a VVE location (preschool and early childhood education), we work thematically with the Uk & Puk program, focusing on language development. Every 6 weeks we start a new theme that connects with toddlers' world of experience, such as "What are you wearing today?" or "Enjoy your meal". For each theme we offer appropriate activities: reading aloud, crafts, movement games, singing and fantasy play. Parents receive a newsletter via the Klasbord app with book tips, word cards and songs. We value good contact with parents and regularly share photos of activities in our closed Klasbord group. There's also the opportunity to join our parent committee. We operate Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday mornings from 8:30-12:15. For more information or to make an appointment, please contact us at 06-82778618 or tovertuin@skh-harderwijk.nl.Read more
