About this care
We are 2 Voices-Parkside, a daycare center located at Zocherstraat 68 in the heart of Amsterdam. Since January 1, 2010, we have been providing care for up to 52 children aged 12 months to 4 years. Our daycare center is officially registered in the National Childcare Register under number 100248640 and is supervised by the GGD Amsterdam.
Our location is housed in a characteristic building where children can play and develop in a safe and homely environment. We offer both Dutch and English childcare, making us particularly suitable for bilingual families. Our pedagogical team consists of experienced childcare professionals who work with great care and attention to the development of each child.
At 2 Voices-Parkside, we believe in a warm and stimulating environment where children can develop safely. We provide a structure that meets the needs of young children, with plenty of room for play and discovery. Our spaces are designed to challenge children in their development, using natural materials and creating a homely atmosphere.
We work with small groups, ensuring plenty of individual attention for each child. Our approach focuses on stimulating development in cognitive, social-emotional, and motor areas. We offer activities that match the age and development of the children, with learning through play being central.
As a parent, you can come to us for daycare from Monday to Friday. We are open from 08:00 to 18:00, allowing us to flexibly accommodate parents' working hours. We believe it's important to have a close relationship with parents and are open to consultation and coordination regarding their child's development.
At 2 Voices-Parkside, the well-being and development of each child is central. We offer a familiar place where children enjoy coming and where parents can confidently bring their child.Read more
