About Childcare 2Samen
For 80 years we have been committed to the enjoyment and development opportunities of children and the world where they grow up. 2Samen is now the largest professional childcare in the region. We provide daycare, toddler care, preschool education and after-school care for more than 6000 children at approximately 75 locations.
Each location has its own character. For example, we have locations in the middle of the city, near the dunes, along large sports fields or with our own petting zoo. One is an expert in Montessori, the other an expert in experiencing nature with their own vegetable garden and greenhouse. But while our locations excel in individuality and small scale, they also have a lot in common. A characteristic 2Samen appearance, a good pedagogical policy and the same 2Samen quality.
Mission
We immerse ourselves passionately in the world of the child every day, we promote development in a way that suits the world and interests. Moreover, we pay attention to the society and world where children grow up. Now and later!
“We offer children a good foundation for their future. The children's world = our world.”
Our promise to children
Our vision is formulated as a promise to children. This is how we clearly show what we are all about:
We see you!
We really want to get to know you. You can let us know what you need in all kinds of ways. We are open to that and we agree. We do this with a positive outlook and by looking behind behavior.
In a rich, safe and loving environment we challenge you to discover the world through play. In your way and at your own pace. Together we will look for what you like and find interesting and what gives you energy. This way you always learn new things and discover your talents.
Learning from and with each other often happens naturally with us. After all, you practice a lot with the other children. We are committed to creating a wonderful time ; now and in the future. We do this together with your parents, with school, and with all the people around you who are important for your future. Together, we are responsible for you and the world in which you grow up.
