Childcare daily schedule and activities
What does a day at childcare look like?
We open the doors at 7:30 a.m. We welcome the first children, wave goodbye to mom or dad, and get things started smoothly. We focus on what your child is interested in: does your child want to play in the play corner early in the morning? Or would they prefer a story to wake up peacefully? We adapt.
How time flies! The after-school children are heading to school. At daycare and preschool, it's time for a tasty snack. We prepare this together with the children, assigning them tasks depending on their age. For example, the children can help with getting the fruit or wiping the table. When we're ready, we sit down together at the table. We eat quietly and chat in between. This kills two birds with one stone: it stimulates language development!

For some children, it's time for a nap. Kober works closely with the youngest children on their sleep schedule. If the others aren't tired and don't need to sleep, then we'll play! For example, outside or inside in the play corner. Playing together is a key principle at Kober. This way, the children learn to listen to each other and stand up for themselves.
Before we know it, it's lunchtime. Here too, we assess the child's abilities and ask them to help with things like setting the table. The children can choose what goes on their sandwiches, but we choose what's on the table. This is generally healthy and responsible. Then comes the afternoon. The littlest ones go to bed. No more nap needed? Come on, let's do a fun activity! The activities we do depend on what's happening that day. Is it raining outside? We'll turn that into a playful moment. Is a mom pregnant? We'll teach the children something about it.

After school, the after-school care children slowly start arriving. Of course, there's plenty of time for them to relax and enjoy a healthy snack. We ask them about their day and offer them the opportunity to participate in various activities. Want to just relax for a bit? That's perfectly fine too! A long school day can be intense enough sometimes.
We'll end the day with a handover to the parents: how did it go? See you next time!
