About this care
Welcome to Ukkepukkehut, our certified toddler care facility located at Merwedestraat 16 in the heart of Heerlen. We provide care for up to 16 toddlers aged 2 to 4 years old. Our goal is to prepare children for primary school in a playful manner. We work with preschool education (VE), where we focus on language and speech development, numeracy, and social skills through play. We use horizontal groups, allowing children to play and learn together in age-appropriate groups. Our location is situated on the grounds of Frans Postma Primary School, with whom we collaborate closely. This makes the transition to primary school easier for your child later on. We are open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 8:15 AM to 11:45 AM and from 12:30 PM to 3:00 PM. On Wednesdays, we offer care from 8:15 AM to 12:15 PM.
