Preschool Populierenlaan

2.5 to 4 years

Preschool Populierenlaan is a VE-plus location, which means that it provides early-school education intended for toddlers who could use a little extra help to thrive. This location combines the benefits of preschool education (Dutch: VE) with smaller groups and more structure. This extra encouragement provides the children with a solid basis to move on to (regular) primary education.

Our toddlers are given space at the location; literally and figuratively! The group room is large and bright, with calming colours and a pleasant atmosphere. The VE-plus group has up to 10 children, who are looked after by 2 experienced educational staff members. This ensures plenty of personal attention and gives each child space to develop at their own pace. We also maintain quick and easy communication with external parties who can help.

Play and fun come first and foremost, which is why we take the children out on explorations every day. We look for tickle bugs in the nature garden, make musical instruments out of cups and rice or play with family photos to learn about all things to do with family. In this way, through fun and play, your toddler will naturally develop his or her motor skills, language, social-emotional skills and personality.

There is no online registration option for this location. Toddlers transfer to this location from our regular VE groups. If you have any questions about VE-plus, please call or email our Child Planning Department: 020 – 426 08 66 or kindplanning@kinderrijk.nl.
