"What a very nice place for small children. I enjoyed cycling a lot of kilometers through the city for this. Children can be who they are at Prins Heerlijk and receive a lot of personal attention."

About Prins Heerlijk
Located on the Prins Hendriklaan, within walking distance of the beautiful Wilhelminapark, we have been the daycare center for happy princes and princesses for more than 20 years! In our small-scale and homely childcare, the pedagogical staff provide children with the personal attention, love and developmental stimulation they need. Prince Heerlijk is a place where children and parents like to come and go, where nature and the environment are treated with respect and where everyone is accepted and appreciated as the unique person he or she is. Look at Method to read more about our daycare and read below about our vision.

Our vision
Every child is unique
With us, every child is appreciated and accepted for who he or she is. This means that they can count on respect, trust and the right guidance in their own development. We follow the child and respond to their unique needs.
Collaboration
Our pedagogical staff are professional and involved. They always strive for open and respectful cooperation with parents in which the interests of the child are represented. We will always continue the conversation, so that the cooperation remains strong.
Nature and environment
We consider attention to nature and the environment to be important. That is why we use as little plastic as possible, we separate our waste and the children are offered as many organic and varied food products as possible. Our toys are also made primarily from natural materials.
A homely atmosphere
Prince Heerlijk offers childcare in a homely atmosphere by offering childcare at one location, with two groups, where a small and committed team is ready to take care of the children. This allows us to keep the quality of care high and the process of socialization can still take place.
Impression
Grace Lansdorf
Owner Prins Heerlijk
From my passion for children I have opened this daycare. I think it is important that children can be who they are. In addition, I see myself as an extension of the child and the parent. We are there to support parents in the education of their child and to help where necessary. Through my courses HBO-V nurse and Interactive child therapy my vision and knowledge has only been strengthened. Working with children gives me energy and that is why I am committed to this company with heart and soul.
Lies de Lange
Manager & coach
I was raised democratically and my parents had 'real' attention for my unique sides. They have always believed in me. I therefore see my upbringing as an example and, among other things, further developed my passion for this profession and vision on it during my education in ecological pedagogy. For me, children are pure and unique and we as educators are the ones who can offer them the means to further develop themselves. The vision of Prince Heerlijk fits me well and that is why I enjoy working here.
