Origin
Kindergarten ‘t Knuffeltje was founded  in August 1997 by Pedagogist d. Drabarek on the Mozartlaan in Delft. In May 2003 ‘t Knuffeltje expanded with a new location on the Hendrick de Keyserweg. This establishment consists of nursery and after-school care.

The space consists of an entrance hall with wardrobe, kitchenette, three toilets, a large living and playing room and a staff room. A shielded outdoor playground is also part of our location.
The name ‘t Knuffeltje is derived from the teddy bear. The different groups have bears names. Characteristic of the groups are also the colors. Each group also has its own arts and crafts tree in the hallway.
