Kas is 2 years old and since October 2021 he has been going to Wiedewei Dirksland 3 times a week. Although the initial choice was for a location closer to work, Lizzy den Herder and her partner are still happy with this choice.
At Wiedewei, Kas spends a lot of time outside and plays and crafts with natural materials
“We have consciously opted for a green childcare center for Kas. I myself have a work history in anthroposophy, where a lot of attention was paid to nature and the world of children. I also wanted to offer my own child such a nice development environment, that is why we chose Wiedewei,” says Lizzy about their choice for Wiedewei. “In the group, the children play and craft with natural materials. They spend a lot of time outside to play, eat and drink. It is even possible to sleep outside. They also discuss themes with 'Spruit', which they apply in different ways to different age categories. These are big pluses that make us happy to bring Kas to Wiedewei.”
Kas learns new words, names his emotions and makes new friends
Lizzy and her partner notice it at home when a new topic is introduced in the group. "We hear new words Kas has learned, and he's getting better at expressing his emotions, like happy, angry, or shocked," Lizzy says about Kas's development. "Kas also loves talking about his friends and the childcare professionals. When I tell him we're going to the children's house in the morning, he can't put his shoes on fast enough. He's often at the front door before me. Picking him up is a different story, because Kas prefers to stay and play. I usually chat with the childcare professionals afterward. They share the story of the day and also show personal interest in us as parents," Lizzy continues.
An establishment where your child develops, plays and learns in a natural way
When asked if Lizzy would recommend Wiedewei to other parents, the answer is yes. “Despite the fact that there are so many children at the location, it always remains peaceful. This is mainly due to the natural atmosphere of the location. Moreover, the children spend a lot of time outdoors, and there's a strong focus on nature. This allows them to burn off energy and continually achieve new developmental goals. The pedagogical professionals enthusiastically convey this to the children. Wiedewei Dirksland is a location where your child develops, plays, and learns naturally. A good and pleasant concept to choose!” Lizzy concludes the conversation.
