About this care
Daycare centre Twinkel is part of Kind & Co Ludens and is located in a separate wing of the Noorderbreedte Integrated School at De Oude Werf 7 in Baarn. We provide small-scale care in one vertical group for up to 12 children aged 0 to 4. Our spacious group room is supported by two adjacent bedrooms, a sanitary area and a kitchen, allowing our pedagogical staff to keep a continuous overview and respond immediately to your child’s needs.
We follow Kind & Co Ludens’ Pedagogical Heart. This means your child feels safe and welcome, is given space to explore and play, and learns to live together in a mini-society. Structure and continuity are central: the same permanent team is ready every day to care for your child lovingly and to stimulate development in a playful way. For this we use the recognised Uk & Puk method, which aligns with early childhood education (VE).
Thanks to our unique location in the same building as Twinkel toddler care and Noorderlicht after-school care, the transition to primary school remains small and familiar. Brothers and sisters can – if desired – give each other a quick hug between play sessions. In this way we create a warm, safe environment in which your child can grow and discover optimally.Read more
