Welcome to Amira Childcare – a place where children feel safe, can grow, and be themselves.
Since our founding in 2017, we have been providing loving and professional daycare in Zaandam. We believe that every child is unique and deserves a safe, stimulating environment where they can explore the world at their own pace.
At Amira, we offer more than just daycare. Our pedagogical vision is based on the belief that children thrive best in a warm and familiar atmosphere, with space for play, creativity, and personal attention. We work with the Uk & Puk method, which playfully stimulates all areas of development in a way that suits each child’s age and world of experience.
Our childcare professionals are caring, skilled, and continuously supported and coached in their interaction skills. This way, we safeguard the quality of our care – every single day.
Whether your child is 3 months old or 4 years old, we provide a place where they can feel at home, laugh, learn, and grow. At Amira, families looking for daycare Zaandam will find a trusted and welcoming environment for their little ones.
Boerejonkerbuurt
Amira Childcare is located in the historic Boerejonker neighborhood, part of the Kogerveld district in Zaandam. This family-friendly area, near Kogerveld station and surrounded by neighborhoods such as Kogerveldbuurt, Hofwijk, and Oostzijderpark, has a rich history. The neighborhood takes its name from the windmill “De Boerejonker,” which stood here in the 17th century along the River Zaan. With roots dating back to the late Middle Ages, it is a place where history and community come together – an inspiring environment for children to play, learn, and grow.
