At Dondersteentjes, we work daily on the development of each child. We do this by offering theme-based activities that stimulate a different developmental area each time. Twice a year we also register the development of each child using KIJK! (childcare). During the transfer moments at the beginning and end of the day we discuss with the parent/guardian any particularities. In addition, once a year we ask if there is interest in a parent meeting.

At Atalenta childcare, we use the childcare app 'Kidsadmin'. This app provides insight into your child's day. You get a notification as soon as a picture is uploaded and you also receive messages directly on your phone. At the end of the day you (childcare) will receive a log of your child containing information about the day, such as: naps, sleeping times, bottle times, etc.. You will also receive (childcare and after-school care) a small story of what your child did that day in the group.
Childcare Dondersteentjes works in cooperation with elementary school Drijfveer and elementary school Meent.
Because everyone is free to choose a suitable elementary school, KDV or BSO, at Dondersteentjes you only register your child for one specific type of care. This means that you have to register your child for the KDV and if you want to use the BSO you have to register separately. To register for school you need to contact the school of your choice.
Is your child sick and unable to come to daycare? Report him or her sick in our childcare app 'Kidsadmin'. In addition, you may always call location.
