At Kibeo, we are committed to a good start for all children. That is why we offer Preschool Education at all our daycare locations (0 to 4 years). With this program, we stimulate children's broad development, so that they can continue to grow with self-confidence and a solid foundation.
What is VE?
VE stands for Preschool Education: a program that provides extra stimulation for the broad development of young children. Some children receive a VE indication, for example, if a visit to the child health clinic reveals that they need extra support. In that case, a child is often allowed to attend 1TP for extra half-days with a subsidy from the municipality. In addition, children with an early childhood education (SEN) indication receive extra guidance, for example in smaller groups or with activities that align with the developmental goals set out in the action plan. At Kibeo, however, we believe that every child benefits from Preschool Education, regardless of whether or not they have a VE indication. That is why we offer VE in all our daycare groups. This gives every child the opportunity to develop optimally through play and in a safe environment.
Uk & Puk
At every location, we work with Uk & Puk. This is an early childhood education program that aligns with the world of young children. Uk & Puk is structured around themes that are recognizable and interesting to children. Examples include seasons, family, or traffic. Within each theme, we offer activities that stimulate the following developmental areas:
- Language
- Calculate
- Motor skills
- Social-emotional
We set up the group room with materials related to the theme. Think of umbrellas, rain boots, and raindrop garlands for the theme 'Rain', or a doctor's corner for the theme 'Achoo!'. Within these themes, we come up with all kinds of activities (indoors and outdoors), play games, and sing songs. Hand puppet Puk is part of the Early Childhood Education program and involves your child in the activities. Together, they experience all kinds of recognizable, fun, and exciting things.
Dedicated and expert professionals
At Kibeo, pedagogical professionals work who are specially trained for Preschool Education (VE). They undergo additional training to optimally guide the development of young children. In addition, they receive regular training from VE coaches so that they always work according to the latest insights. These VE coaches also provide support with complex issues and monitor the quality of the VE program at Kibeo. In this way, every child receives the right guidance and can develop in a safe, stimulating environment.
Follow development with KIJK!
Does your child enjoy talking and learn new words quickly? Or does he or she need some extra support with language? At Kibeo, we monitor children's development using KIJK!, a recognized observation and registration system. With this, we map out language skills as well as other developmental areas, for example, so that we get a clear picture of what a child needs. For children with an early childhood education (VE) indication, this is done with extra precision and, if necessary, supported by an action plan.
