More than just child care!

Hestia Early Learning Centre (Hestia ELC) represents a high quality early learning centre, achieved through a pedagogical approach in which a child’s development is the focal point.
Hestia's managing director, Ileen Purperhart, found her inspiration for this concept in the thoughts and ideas developed by pedagogue Loris Malaguzzi in Reggio Emilia. She also utilises her vast experience in education due to the great deal of work she has done with very young children.
Hestia ELC distinguishes itself as child care with an educational policy. Hestia ELC wants to be there for parents who consciously choose child care that is part of the child’s upbringing: in other words, parents who are both conscious and critical.

Hestia ELC has several locations, near the Beatrixpark and the Gijsbrecht Van Aemstelpark in Amsterdam and in Amstelveen. We make regular trips to these parks.
