Pedagogisch Professional (pedagogisch medewerker) | Kinderdagverblijf | De Regenboog Malden | 8 tot 27 uur

About the role

KION is the childcare organization of Nijmegen and surroundings. We give children a place to grow and develop. As a pedagogical employee you work at the after-school care, toddler group and/or daycare. Based on your education, preference, experience and availability we make agreements about the size of your contract.

Work environment

You will work at Kinderdagverblijf De Regenboog in Malden, located in primary school De Regenboog at the edge of a forest-rich residential area. This small-scale location provides care for one group of up to 16 children in a light, fresh group room with various play corners that invite discovery, play and learning. There is also a fine, safe outdoor area where children can fully enjoy nature, including outdoor beds for sleeping in the fresh air. With the forest around the corner there is always space for both rest and movement.

The daycare is open three days a week, ensuring a compact roster and a good work-life balance. On these days you work together with a small, involved team that truly knows and supports each other. Pedagogical quality is high. We believe every child can develop optimally in an environment where loving attention, rest and fun are central. An after-school care facility is also present on site.

Responsibilities

• Together with colleagues, be responsible for children aged 0 to 4 years at the daycare.
• From reception to closing, provide structure and create a fine, safe and trusted environment.
• Give individual attention to each child — from giving a fruit snack to a baby on your lap to offering challenging play to a toddler.
• Observe what the child needs and respond through play.
• Playfully contribute to the development and growth of the children.
• Send messages and photos of the children's experiences to parents via the parent app during the day.
• Close the day together with singing, music or storytelling.
• Inform parents about the day at pickup.

Benefits

• Full travel cost reimbursement for public transport; €0.25 per kilometer for car travel.
• Contract size from 8 to 27 hours per week depending on work type, availability and team composition (work on Mondays; other days flexible).
• One-year contract with possibility of extension.
• Secondary employment conditions: 8% year-end bonus, bike plan, generous leave arrangement, favorable pension scheme, discount on health insurance, and more.
• Access to the KION Ontwikkelplein for ongoing professional and pedagogical development.
• A workplace where you can be yourself and pass that on to the children — building an environment where everyone feels at home.

• Must be qualified to work in childcare (diploma must meet qualification requirements).
• Must meet the IKK language requirement for daycare work.
• A Verklaring Omtrent het Gedrag (VOG) is a mandatory part of the procedure.
