About Zonnelicht
Zonnelicht day-care centre
Every day at the Zonnelicht day-care centre in Den Bosch, we inspire children to discover themselves. The goal? Happy and loving children who are in touch with themselves, others and the world.
Every child has every opportunity to grow into a responsible, self-aware, hopeful, sensitive and creative human being who can make a contribution to the world. A child that is aware of his or her own unique talents and possibilities.
Day-care of the future
For over 35 years, Zonnelicht day-care centre in Den Bosch has been making a valuable contribution to the individual development of each child. We are innovative in our approach and an inspiring example of how childcare can make an important contribution to the development of a new generation. We share our thoughts and our method so that it benefits as many children as possible. We focus on the self-awareness of children to be creative and innovative from an early age in order to make a positive contribution to social issues in the future.

Green, healthy & sustainable
At the Zonnelicht, many opportunities have been created to grow up in a green and nature-friendly environment. The children can often be found at the children’s farm, the Oosterplas, the gnome wood and the butterfly garden. The natural playground and large vegetable garden are also within walking distance of the childcare centre. In addition, a great deal of attention is paid to a sustainable lifestyle when supervising the children. And of course we pay a lot of attention to healthy food in our nutrition policy as well.
