Why families love the Peuterspeelbar

Healthy meals

During their stay, children enjoy a delicious warm meal.
In the morning, we offer fresh fruit. At lunchtime, a warm homemade meal with fresh vegetables. And in the afternoon, a sandwich or cracker with veggies and dried fruit.

Parent community

One of the things that makes the Peuterspeelbar extra special is… the bar! Yes, we have a bar with a kitchen, the perfect place for our parent community to gather and organize fun events.

Each month, we host a relaxed dinner and drinks evening where both parents and kids are welcome. A lovely way to connect and get to know each other better.

A unique location: Outdoor play at its best

Our location? An absolute dream. Perched on a hill, surrounded by flower fields, with a view over nature. Here, outdoor play isn’t a bonus, it’s part of our daily rhythm.

We make mud soup, build huts, go on little hikes, and marvel at everything that grows and lives around us.

Our daily rhythm

Every morning starts with a visual schedule, so children know what to expect. This clear rhythm brings peace and security.

Our days are filled with play, music, arts & crafts, and nourishing meals — all in a calm, loving environment.

More about us

The Peuterspeelbar Silves is a Parent-Led Initiative in the Perfect Location. You’ll find us in a truly convenient spot, right between several international schools in the Silves region.

The Peuterspeelbar was born out of a strong desire from parents to create a safe and trusted environment for their little ones, with high-quality care and clear values. Rather than wait for long placement times at Portuguese daycare centers, this initiative offers a meaningful alternative: a small, social setting where children can play, grow, and thrive together.

The driving force behind the Peuterspeelbar is Sanne Everloo, a certified childcare professional with over 15 years of experience in Dutch early childhood education. She is joined by teacher Jessica, originally from Brazil, who gently introduces the children to Portuguese through playful daily interactions.

A Peek into Our World

Happy Parents

Supporting Your Child’s Growth

Every child grows and develops at their own pace — in their own unique way. At the Peuterspeelbar in Silves, we nurture this development by offering a safe, loving, and stimulating environment.

Through play, children explore the world around them, develop social skills, and begin to discover their own talents. Our activities are carefully tailored to each stage of development, from motor and cognitive growth to language and social-emotional skills. With a rich mix of play, music, creative activities, and outdoor exploration, we help children take small, confident steps into their expanding world.

We believe that a warm and familiar setting is the foundation for strong, self-assured development. That’s why we work with consistent, trusted caregivers and offer a daily rhythm that meets the needs of each individual child.
