About this care
We are KDV Zonnelicht, located in the Kersenboogerd neighborhood at Gording 123 in Hoorn. As part of Stichting Kinderopvang West-Friesland, we have been providing childcare for children aged 0 to 4 years for over 40 years.
Security, warmth and attention are central to our approach. We work with various pedagogical streams that align with the principles of the free school, where anthroposophical principles play an important role. Our pedagogical staff follow your child's rhythm and provide activities such as lap songs and sensory games that contribute to social-emotional development.
Children receive organic food and play outside extensively in our garden. We pay great attention to creativity, movement and music. Our location is designed as a safe, pleasant and challenging environment where your child receives optimal care and attention and learns to play together.
We are open from 7:00 AM to 6:30 PM and offer a free settling-in period of two weeks. We warmly invite you for a tour to get to know our special location.Read more
