The International
Daycare of Leiden

The First Steps Towards
Becoming a Global Citizen

Our daycares

Hello and welcome to  Teddy Kids International Daycare in Leiden, the most recognised daycare in Leiden! We first opened our doors in 2004, and since then we've grown to become a family-owned and run organisation with four locations and two after-school care facilities. We're proud to have a team of over 75 highly qualified teachers of varying nationalities and backgrounds who help us create our signature multicultural atmosphere.

Leiden is a wonderful place for both Dutch and international communities, thanks in part to its large and diverse international community that attracts people for work and studies. Places like the LUMC, University of Leiden, Webster University, and the BIO science park make Leiden an attractive expat hub, and we're proud to be a part of the community.

When we first moved to the Netherlands, we were impressed by the international orientation of schools and the community, but we felt that there was a big gap for working expats to have their children attend international daycare, as well as a lack of bilingual opportunities for Dutch kids. 

That's why we decided to create Teddy Kids International Daycare. Drawing on our own experiences as expats, we built a company on the principle that Dutch and international children can learn and grow together. 

Our mission is to provide high-quality, multicultural childcare for children of all backgrounds, while bridging the divide between cultures and countries. We believe that the best way to promote global awareness and cultural sensitivity is by bringing together children of all backgrounds and creating a safe, nurturing, and educational environment for them to learn and grow together. We're committed to providing a welcoming environment for families from all backgrounds, whether you're a Dutch family looking for bilingual opportunities or an expat in need of quality childcare. 

We know how important it is for parents to feel comfortable and confident in their choice of daycare, and we do everything in our power to make that happen. 

We're proud to offer a range of programs and services that are designed to meet the needs of families from all walks of life. 

When you're interested in learning more about Teddy Kids International Daycare, we'd be happy to give you a tour and a (warm) cup of tea. Just give us a call and we'll arrange a visit. 

Looking forward to welcoming you to the Teddy Kids Family!

What Parents Say About Us

Chizu Matsushita

I was a desperate mum of a then 0-year-old daughter five years ago, starting a student life in Leiden alone, unable to find a daycare near home/university. TK offered a helping hand, and I have cherished our encounter and relationship to this day. My daughter was brought up by wonderful teachers and the TK management team for over one year until we left Holland. TK was extremely supportive, always considerate of my situation and offered help throughout our stay. Its flexibility and warm atmosphere cannot be found anywhere else. I know we are welcome anytime; I and my now-5-year-old daughter just visited them and we continue admiring them. THANK YOU, Teddy Kids!

Alice Mokhovykov

I've known Teddy Kids Palace for 5 years. Both my children went there several days per week since they were 4 months old. The teachers are totaly dedicated to the care of the children. They love what they do and we can see it. The management is also easy to reach and ready to help whenever they can. A lot of teachers are foreigners which is really nice because they speak English to the kids. My second daughter is now 3,5 and she understands English without any problem and is even beginning to talk back in English! I would advise Teddy Kids to any parent.

R Aruleswaran

I am a full-time working single mother. I started sending my baby from the age of 3 months. The team had been very cooperative, flexible and understanding of my needs. My daughter is always very happy to go there. She beams with smiles whenever I drop her off. The teachers from the baby group are jovial, attentive and helpful. Together they make a wonderful team. The international environment additionally makes this place more appealing for children from foreign backgrounds. I'd recommend Teddy's anytime to parents looking for a reliable, safe and fun childcare.
