Maylin Polak (1) has been going to Elorah Kapelle 2 days a week since she was 5 months old. Read here why her parents Sander and Ingrid chose Elorah and what their experience is with our daycare.
In their search for the most suitable shelter, the continuous learning path that Elorah offers was decisive for Sander and Ingrid. “With a view to Christian Reformed education in combination with the BSO that Maylin hopes to go to soon, our choice for Elorah was quickly made,” they say.
More than just shelter, that is beyond expectations
Initially, Sander and Ingrid only considered childcare, but they indicate that Elorah exceeds their expectations. “Experience shows us that it brings us and Maylin much more than that. For example, the pedagogical professionals who monitor her development through a KIJK! registration. We hadn't expected that. The pedagogical professionals think along with us, give tips, and take Maylin's rhythm into account.” When Maylin arrives at Elorah, she already knows she is going to have fun playing with the other children. “Then she starts beaming. And after a day of playing at Elorah, she is happy and satisfied. She sleeps very well afterwards.”
“Suddenly she joined in and folded her hands. She had clearly learned this at daycare.”
Folding hands, singing songs and many more of the same habits as at home
Besides playing, Maylin also learns a lot. For example, folding her hands while praying. “We weren't really consciously working on it at home, but she suddenly joined in and folded her hands. She had clearly learned this at daycare,” says Ingrid. She continues: “We also notice that with songs that she hears at home, she learned them at Elorah and follows along with the gestures at home.” Sander and Ingrid like that Elorah is a Christian reformed shelter with the same habits as at home.
Educational professionals really know Maylin and play nicely into her character.
Maylin’s parents indicate that the pedagogical professionals really have an eye for the children. They say that they truly know Maylin and are well aware of what their daughter likes and dislikes. “They know her personality and adapt to it in a fun way. Eating fruit, for example, is sometimes quite a challenge for our daughter. But at Elorah, they always manage to get her to do it.”
