Preschool Orion
2 to 4 year
Preschool Orion is located in the Orion building together with Willem Alexander and De Cirkel primary schools. The building oozes a warm and pleasant atmosphere. Our preschool has its own outdoor area and we have another separate playroom. The outdoor area has a nature garden with herbs and plants. This allows the children to learn about nature, the vegetable garden and herbs in a natural and playful manner.
Children develop rapidly. They play together, learn to share and solve an argument. We inspire them through many developmentally appropriate activities such as, music, creative, exercise, cooking. We also highly focus on the children’s language development. We use Logo 3000 to encourage language development, which is a tool to increase children’s vocabulary naturally through play.

Having said goodbye to your child, we start the day in the circle. We sing songs, name the days of the week, the colours, the weather and talk to the children about what all they have been up to. Then it’s time for some fruit at the table. 10.30

Our location manager
Joni de Knegt
Hello, my name is Joni, location manager at Orion. I have been working in childcare for 15 years, including 3 at this location, which I am enjoying very much.
“We believe that education of the children should take place together with parents. This involves an appropriate handover of the children from and to the parents and good cooperation between the parents and the educational staff. The educational staff here work with love and passion. This can be felt in the group, which has a nice, safe and relaxed atmosphere.”
