Who is Hestia Childcare?
“Hestia is the place where the foundations are laid for an inclusive, conscious and sustainable society.”
This is our vision that inspires us every day to do what we do. What we do? Childcare, but in our way. Imagine an environment specially designed for children, where children are allowed and able to develop naturally and freely. A place where the outdoors is just as important as the indoors and nature is one of the greatest sources of inspiration. A home where everyone can really be who you want to be and where different cultures are celebrated. A place where people are constantly learning and new ways are being explored. That is Hestia.
Hestia, creating change.
All attention goes to the potential of the children and the employees
A child does not have to ‘become’ anyone, because a child already is someone. We honour and respect a child’s autonomy and help them become conscious of themselves, others, and the world around them. We follow the natural development of a child, match their interests and then build on that. We are inspired by our own experience and that of Reggio Emilia, Montessori, Steiner, and others. Our pedagogical philosophy is unique and our daily source of inspiration in how we support children in their development. We empower children as well as our employees.
What applies to the children also applies to the adults who care for them. As an employee, we invite you to be yourself 100%. Discover your talents, experiment and learn, within the safety of our Hestia family. You can therefore expect that you will learn a lot here, both in a pedagogical sense and also in terms of personal development. For us, this goes hand in hand. This means that, in addition to all kinds of pedagogical training, you also receive workshops in, for example: mindfulness, discovering personal talents and Non-violent communication.
International & inclusive Family
We have international teams working at all our locations, and the official languages are Dutch and English. People come from all over the world, which makes Hestia a melting pot of different cultures and different backgrounds and it shows! All teams are energetic and curious, creating a casual atmosphere that makes people describe it as “the Hestia family”. Our culture revolves around inclusion, fun and curiosity, which you will notice as soon as you enter!
Sustainable & innovative
We are one of the first childcare organisation in the Netherlands who are in the process of becoming Bcorp certified and we are proud of that! We believe it is important to be actively involved in themes such as sustainability. We are a learning company and look at new paths and next steps with an investigative attitude, always driven by our vision to make a social impact. We are open to feedback and feedforward from our environment and motivated by a sense of responsibility for the new generations. Read more.
