Daycare
Do you have questions about your child's development, education or behaviour? KleintjeZuid offers you specialist support from our Pedagogical team when needed.
Going to daycare for the first time
Taking your child to preschool for the first time is a big step. It takes some adjusting for children and their parents. At KleintjeZuid we understand this very well. Getting well-adjusted is important for successful childcare. To make the transition from home to KleintjeZuid as smooth as possible, we use an adjustment period in which the days are built up slowly.
Of course, every family is different, and every child reacts differently to the transition period. Our location managers and educational professionals are ready to support you as a parent during your child's unique transition.
A day at KleintjeZuid
You enter the group in mom's arms. You look around and see your regular group members already sitting at the table. It's time for a fruit snack. One of the pedagogical staff you trust sits at the table with the babies and gives them snacks.
Another childcare professional is talking to Mom about you; are there any special circumstances she should be aware of today? Mom tells you that you didn't sleep well last night; you're teething. Mom and the childcare professional agree that you'll be put to bed in the bedroom for a while now; you could use some extra rest. Save your fruit snack for yourself. Time to say goodbye. Mom gives you a big kiss and says, "I'll pick you up later, have a good day!" You extend your arms to the childcare professional. Together you wave goodbye to Mom.
Quality & Service
KleintjeZuid pays extra attention to supporting parents in creating a better balance between work, household and family. Our development-oriented approach to a childcare day, longer opening hours and the provision of daily hot meals for the children ensure that there is only quality time with the family at home.
As a parent at KleintjeZuid you can also take advantage of the opportunity to have your child cut into a fresh style during childcare by the children's hairdresser who visits twice a year as an extra service.

Service is just one of our qualities at KleintjeZuid!
Cityplot
From spring to autumn, our children are offered fun and educational gardening lessons. KleintjeZuid has a collaboration with the urban farmer collective 'City Plot'. The City Plot Collective's mission is to encourage large and small city residents to grow their own vegetables, herbs, fruit and flowers. Our locations feature vegetable gardens that are the focus of inspiring gardening lessons with themes such as soil, seeds, plants, insects and harvesting.
During the garden lessons we spend time outdoors and the children learn where their food comes from, about healthy eating, how to grow their own fruit and vegetables, connecting with and respecting nature and much more. Of course the children really enjoy digging in the soil with their hands and tasting their own harvest. We use our harvest to cook and make healthy treats with the children, from mint tea to home-made strawberry jam.
Fun, educational and... delicious!
