Childcare organization Kosmo is investing in a new childcare building in Enschede. On the site of an old school, a sustainable building is being constructed that will accommodate 108 children. This was reported by Tubantia.
Replacing an old school
The new construction marks the end of an existing school building in Enschede. Kosmo has deliberately chosen demolition and new construction over renovation, with the aim of creating a modern, sustainable childcare environment that meets today's standards. The sustainable design aligns with the growing attention for environmentally conscious building in the childcare sector.
Major capacity expansion
With 108 places, the new facility is a substantial addition to the childcare provision in Enschede. The municipality of Enschede, like many other Dutch municipalities, is facing pressure in the childcare market. Demand for childcare places remains high, particularly for daycare for children aged 0 to 4 years.
Kosmo is a childcare organization with multiple locations in Overijssel, offering both daycare (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) and after-school care (BSO). The new construction strengthens Kosmo's position in the Enschede region.
What does this mean for parents?
The arrival of 108 new childcare places is good news for parents in Enschede and the surrounding area:
- Shorter waiting lists: The expansion increases the chance of securing a childcare place, especially for young children where pressure on facilities is greatest.
- Modern childcare concept: A new building generally means better facilities, more daylight, and a child-friendly design that aligns with current pedagogical insights.
- Sustainable choice: Parents who value environmentally conscious upbringing can choose an organization that invests in sustainability.
Parents interested in a place at the new Kosmo location would be wise to get in touch early. For new construction projects, registrations often open before the opening, especially in regions where the childcare market is tight.
