About this care
Welcome to Voorschool De Meer, a daycare facility located at Mariotteplein 70 in Amsterdam-Oost. We are part of Stichting Dynamo Voorscholen, an organization with over 25 years of experience in providing high-quality preschool care in Amsterdam. We can accommodate up to 16 children per day in a safe and stimulating environment where play and learning go hand in hand.
We work with the preschool program 'Startblokken', where we thematically focus on your child's development. Our activities connect with the children's experiences. When a child is excited about a fire truck they've seen, we build an educational activity around it. This way, children learn through play to count, draw, sing, talk and discover. We pay special attention to language development through reading aloud, language games and stimulating communication between children.
Our toddler group consists of 16 children aged 2 to 4 years, guided by 2 permanent pedagogical staff members. We work in horizontal groups, where children of the same age play and learn together. This provides a calm and structured environment where each child gets the space to develop at their own pace. The preschool is open from 8:30 to 13:50, making half-day attendance possible.
At Voorschool De Meer, we believe it's important that children develop not only cognitively, but also socially-emotionally and motorically. We therefore offer various activities such as movement, music-making and creative expression. Children are given the freedom to fantasize, get messy and above all, be children. Our experienced pedagogical staff guide the children and ensure a warm and familiar atmosphere.Read more

Summary
Voorschool De Meer in Amsterdam is a daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) with 16 places for early childhood education. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) conducted an unannounced annual inspection on 21 May 2026. All quality requirements were met. The pedagogical practice is strong: children feel emotionally safe, parents are warmly welcomed and assisted during farewells. Staff stimulate language, numeracy, social skills and independence through play-based learning. The early childhood education programme Startblokken is well implemented with 26 hours and 40 minutes per week. Two permanent bachelor's-level (HBO) qualified staff members work at the location, supplemented with substitute staff. There is good cooperation with the WSV-school for transition to primary school. A point of attention is that observations are not always recorded promptly in the child tracking system Horeb, although the staff know the children well and are able to provide reasoned educational activities. Additional staff hours will be allocated for this registration.
