Hestia Childcare Amstelveen
Hestia offers childcare at two locations in Amstelveen. The Amstelland location is located between Amsterdam and Amstelveen and borders the beautiful meadows. Children from 0 to 12 years old can come here daily. The other location is in the School Of Understanding and is an after-school care center. We are a warm home where children can discover themselves in complete freedom under the watchful eye of our loving and well-trained people. Our daycare centers and after-school care centers are different from what you may be used to. We have a clear vision that challenges us to do things differently. We follow the natural development of children and are inspired by Reggio Emilia, Montessori and Steiner, among others. We believe that everything is already in a child. Our employees help children become who they want to be. We honor and respect the autonomy of a child and help it become aware of itself, others and the world around it.
At daycare in Amstelveen we focus on
Inclusion & culture
At Hestia, most locations are bilingual. This means that there is always a pedagogical employee who speaks Dutch and another who speaks English. We spend a lot of time on different cultures and exploring another person’s perspective.
Nature & outdoor play
We think it is important to spend a lot of time in nature and discover what happens there. That is why we play outside every day (rain or shine) and often go out.
Natural development
Our pedagogical vision is the core of Hestia. We follow the natural pace of a child and assume that all talent is already there. Through a lot of creativity, we let children wonder about themselves, others and the world around them.
