Why Kino
You will find the Kino childcare centre on the Haarlemmerweg in the Amsterdam Westerpark district, next to the Westerpark itself. We offer small-scale and personal care in a welcoming space and focus on the individual development of the child. With materials that are carefully selected to support each child in their development and to challenge them in play. We offer a special creative programm and other activities so that children can develop broadly and discover what they like. Self-confidence and skills increase through rich experiences.
At our daycare, the atmosphere for babies is calm, with lots of personal attention and the opportunity to follow their own rhythm. Toddlers and preschoolers find challenges in free play and activities and gain independence at a pace that suits them. During their last year at daycare, children are prepared for primary school with interesting, playful work activities.
We have a steady and dedicated team that enjoys giving the children a pleasant day. Rest, free play and activities alternate. We look closely at what each child needs from us, to match our actions, as well as the materials and activities.
The educational views of Emmi Pikler and Maria Montessori inspire us with profound understanding of the way children thrive and learn. We provide a warm and challenging environment for the children in which not the budget is leading, but the needs of the group and the individual child.
