Meet Vera Zonneveld

Our Newest Colleague

Who is Vera?

She joined the team in 2026. She answers WhatsApp and Telegram during extended hours — often quicker than you’d expect — and she keeps track of every conversation, so nothing slips through the cracks.

What does she do?

  • •Answers questions at 2 AM (when you're worrying and can't sleep)
  • •Handles scheduling chaos ("Can we switch days this week?")
  • •Manages documentation (forms, updates, records)
  • •Routes complex questions to humans (she knows when to escalate)

Why did we hire her?

Not to replace human connection. To protect it.

Every minute Vera spends on admin is a minute our human team spends with your child. Every 2 AM question she answers is a parent who gets peace of mind without waking a staff member.

The Boundary (non-negotiable)

Vera supports parents and staff with admin and scheduling — never the children themselves. That keeps our teachers' full attention where it belongs: on the kids. That's a promise.

(Vera typically responds in under 30 seconds. Humans respond during business hours. Both are here for you.)

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I enroll my child at Teddy Kids?

The enrollment process begins with filling out our online application form or contacting us directly. We'll then invite you for a tour of our facilities and discuss your needs and preferences. Once you decide to proceed, we'll confirm availability and send a placement agreement. After signing the agreement, your child's spot is secured. Registration is free. We'll then arrange a personalized transition plan with gradual settling-in sessions before the official start date.

Is there a waiting list for Teddy Kids?

Waiting lists vary by location, age group, and desired days. Popular days (Tuesday and Thursday) and certain age groups may have longer waiting periods. We recommend applying as early as possible, even during pregnancy for infant care. Priority is given to siblings of current children and full-time enrollments. We can often accommodate part-time requests by matching complementary schedules. Contact us for current availability information specific to your situation.

What are the fees for Teddy Kids?

Our fees depend on the age group, number of days, and specific program. Our prices are 100% all-in: meals, snacks, diapers and all regular activities are included. The only extras are swimming lessons in BSO (optional) and a light Moekes dinner for BSO children, on request. We offer 4 to 5 days per week, for stability and quality of care; 3 days is possible by exception. Please contact us for a personalized quote. Many families qualify for the Dutch childcare allowance (kinderopvangtoeslag), which significantly reduces out-of-pocket costs.

What is bilingual daycare?

At Teddy Kids, we speak English and Dutch in every group—children learn both languages naturally through daily play and interaction.

From what age can my child start?

From 3 months old. We care for babies, toddlers and children up to 12 years in our after-school programs.
