Both my kids (who are 4 and 5) love to go there; they speak 3 languages fluently and they have…read morestarted to read and write and do maths. Little Universe School is a great example of how education can fulfill and stimulate the relentless and natural hunger for learning and development in kids. Besides the curriculum learning, there is great attention to social and communication skills; I regularly see how my kids come home and use what they have learned at school; sharing, making proposals and solving conflicts; they seem to be more centered when they come home from school than before. And I have not yet talked about all structural advantages (for working parents): warm school lunch, pre- and after school in one building, swimming lessons and the flexible vacation scheme. I regularly feel that the teachers at Little Universe School have the energy of people who are creating something new: a school that prepares happy and conscious kids fit for the 21st century... For me Little Universe School is the biggest present that I am able to give to my kids :-)... And if you wanna get some more official stuff besides the biased view of a loving mum: read the inspection report...

Our daughter has been in the Little Universe School for more than 2 years and we are extremely…read morehappy with the school. The teachers a great and our daughter has learned a lot. In addition, as the school is bilingual, our daughter speaks now both English and Dutch. For lunch a cook prepares healthy and tasty vegetarian food. Also the school provides activities such as weekly music and yoga class. I can highly recommend Little Universe School.

Dutch is a beautiful language and if you live here why not to learn it? I signed up for the 1-week…read morebeginner course, which consists of 5 classes daily 6 hours each. The group is small 8 people. The class is divided in 2 x 3 hour each session. The morning sessions were with Wessel, he is the founder of the school. And second half was with Jorgen. I enjoyed non-conventional flow of the class with Wessel. He developed his own technique, video and print materials. My second teacher Jorgen, lacked passion and confidence. I gave it 4 days and unfortunately had to skip my last class due to the issues at work. Nonetheless, yesterday I spoke Dutch in the restaurant and had a delightful experince.

Dutch. Kinda a cross between German and English? Everyone speaks English here, so why learn it…read more Get over it. Learn it. I've taken many language classes in many languages before (Spanish, Arabic, Chinese) and I can say The School For Dutch is unique and engaging. Wessel, the owner and main instructor, is fantastic. He has a methods that are innovative and unique. Moreso, neither he nor the second instructor were intimidating. I wasn't scared to answer incorrectly. The environment is fantastic. I did the week long level 1 survival intensive course. It was really fun day to day, the other two students in the class were great, and they keep tea, coffee, and biscuits on hand throughout the day. Don't worry, there's a lunch break too so you get a little break with the other students. Ik heb kapsalon gegeten! As a bonus, his friend runs a tiny second hand bookshop there in the early evenings (in case you want some Dutch children's books for practice).

Yes, I am a fan of the Hartbeach. I have been here multiple times, and besides being a beach, surf…read moreshop and surf school, I like that they have a heir restaurant. The surf show has a nice offer of Roxy bathing suits, so I like that. OMG I am in love with their juices. My favourite is the one with something Portuguese in its name :D It has mango, lime, cucumber and spinach in its ingredients. So. Good. I think that the food options are very good for a beach restaurant. They have a good variation of snacks, from Dutch bitterballen to more Asian duck cripsy rolls, or Japanise yakitori. There are tosti's, burgers, some soup and broodjes (sandwiches), and pancakes. Also, cool plus point, they offer some food for humans best furry friend - doggies. This is a place with a very good vibe.
