About this care
Voorschool OBS Hesselanden is located on the premises of OBS de Hesselanden at the asylum seekers’ centre on Wilhelmsweg 85A in Emmen. As a daycare facility we provide pre-school education (VVE) for up to 30 children aged 2 to 4. Working closely with the primary school, we focus on language development and school readiness. Children attend either two or four half-days per week, with VVE toddlers coming four half-days. Groups are horizontally structured, so children play and learn with peers of the same age.Read more
