Let's Talk

Questions at 2 AM? First-day jitters? Just want to see if we're the right fit? There's no wrong reason to reach out. And you'll always reach a human โ€” or Vera, our colleague you can reach during extended hours.

Everyone reaches out differently. All three paths are the right one.

I'm Nervous and Just Want to Chat

First-time parent anxiety? Totally normal. We've guided thousands of families through this. No pressure. No sales pitch. Just honest answers.

One small thing: to keep our time for families, we don't take sales or marketing calls โ€” but email and WhatsApp always reach a real person.

Meet Vera Zonneveld

Our Newest Colleague

Who is Vera?

She joined the team in 2026. She answers WhatsApp and Telegram during extended hours โ€” often quicker than youโ€™d expect โ€” and she keeps track of every conversation, so nothing slips through the cracks.

What does she do?

  • โ€ขAnswers questions at 2 AM (when you're worrying and can't sleep)
  • โ€ขHandles scheduling chaos ("Can we switch days this week?")
  • โ€ขManages documentation (forms, updates, records)
  • โ€ขRoutes 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 โ€” 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.)

Last Thing

We've been doing this for 22 years. 10,000 families have walked through these doors โ€” nervous, hopeful, unsure.

Every single one of them started with a question. A tour. A 2 AM worry.

You're not bothering us. You're doing exactly what good parents do: making sure this is right for your child.

We're here when you're ready.

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 and paying the registration fee, your child's spot is secured. 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-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. All fees include meals, snacks, diapers, and regular activities. We offer various attendance options from 1-5 days per week, with discounts for multiple days and siblings. 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 groupโ€”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.
