About this care
Voorschool Al Wafa II is located in the heart of Amsterdam-West at Louis Couperusstraat 131. We are a certified VVE location fully focused on the development of curious toddlers aged 2 to 4 years. Through play, we give your child all the space to grow and learn. Our pedagogical staff create a safe and stimulating environment in which each child can develop at their own pace. We work with small groups, allowing for plenty of individual attention for each child. Preschool education (VVE) is central to our offering, where we work on language, math and social skills through play. We believe in the power of play as a learning tool and therefore offer various activities that connect with the world of experience of toddlers. Our location is set up with corners where children can build, craft, read and role-play. We have a fixed daily schedule with sufficient space for rest and activity. Parents are actively involved in their child's development and we work closely with Al Wafa primary school, providing a continuous developmental line.Read more

Summary
VVE Al Wafa II is an early childhood education (VVE) location in Amsterdam for children aged 2 to 4 years, housed within basisschool Al Wafa.
