We connect with the way in which the young child experiences the world as much as possible and are attuned to the importance of a socially safe environment. Therefore, all IJsterk daycare facilities meet five common basic criteria:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pedagogical vision<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Each daycare has its own identity and its own strong pedagogical vision. The child\u2019s development and well-being take centre stage. We contribute to the child\u2019s upbringing and therefore consider contact with parents to be very important. IJsterk Daycare has an overarching Pedagogical Policy; this sets out the vision, frameworks and principles on which our staff base their work at our daycare facilities. It also provides insight into our pedagogical views and fundamental principles to parents who entrust their child to our care. Each daycare also has its own pedagogical policy plan. This describes the daycare centre\u2019s characteristic vision for dealing with children. Which pedagogical movement or movements does the daycare draw inspiration from and how is this \u201cown\u201d culture expressed in the daily pedagogical actions of the childcare workers.The daycare\u2019s pedagogical policy plan can be found on the page of the respective daycare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Full of activities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In line with the pedagogical concept, we offer a full and varied programme of activities everywhere, allowing the children to discover all kinds of things in different areas. Experts in various fields (from inside and outside the organisation) visit our daycare facilities for this purpose. For example: we have artists who engage in creative activities with the children, regular appearances by musicians who make music with the children, and children\u2019s yoga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We work with experienced teams and committed managers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A regular face in front of the group provides stability and is important for an emotionally healthy environment. The tasks of our childcare workers are focused on the children and the group and not on all kinds of other things like schedules and such. Our childcare workers\u2019 focus is on the child and the group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A healthy lifestyle is also important for the young child<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What better way to start life\u2019s journey than by picking up healthy habits, such as eating healthy foods, getting lots of exercise and spending a lot of time outdoors, in daycare. This is why we offer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
