DOLLSVILLA STRENGTHENS PLAYFULLY |
CHILDREN WITH AUTISME AND AD[H]D |
|
Children
with autism and AD[H]D have been playing
with the DollsVilla for several months
during development weekends and midweeks
of Happy KidsCare Delft. The
professionals are enthusiastic about the
effects. |
|
“A plan of
action was drawn up during a team meeting: ‘The goal of the DollsVilla is to
develop a play corner that supports young people from Happy KidsCare in
their social-emotional development, provides insight into their family
system and helps them make play appointments during supervision. This can be
achieved by means of a creative and interactive dollhouse, in which the
supervisors actively participate and simultaneously observe the young people.’ |
|
What are
the experiences with the DollsVilla? |
“What we
see in practice is that mainly young girls and boys from 6 to 10 years old
use the DollsVilla. There are children who play alone, and there are
children who play together. Children who are less socially skilled, for
example because of a language deficit, are increasingly drawn to the
DollsVilla. In addition, there are also older youth who score somewhat lower
socially and emotionally and who also feel attracted to the villa.” |
|
“During
Happy Time moments, we see that children can express and explore their
emotions while playing with the DollsVilla. Supervisors can observe and
support them and teach them what their roles are within a family situation.
It is also visible that unprocessed experiences in children with autism come
to the fore. The DollsVilla offers an accessible way to talk to them about
this.” |

|
Happy KidsCare ensures that children between the
ages of 6 and 18 learn a lot about themselves
and others through play. In addition, the child
is stimulated in its development through
activities. This development stimulation is
easily accessible and comes from the child's own
capabilities. The young person has a place where
it can count on a stable, alternative upbringing
and living situation. Here, self-reliance and
social skills can be worked on. |

DOLLSVILLA IN 12 RONALD MCDONALD
|
HOUSES |
Ronald McDonald House The Hague: "This
DollsVilla is truly beautiful and is
played with a lot by brothers and
sisters in our House." |
|
|
"Because
it has wheels underneath, it can also be
used for the MiniMix activities by our
Living Room volunteers in the children's
ward of the Juliana Children's Hospital.
The entire house can be wheeled into the
patient's room. So much fun!" |

To house their

|
Sick children feel better with their parents,
brothers and sisters nearby. Parents can better
cope with their care with a place of rest close
to their sick child. Because when your whole
world is turned upside down by illness or care,
being together as a family is the most important
thing. |
|
DollsVilla
by Liliane® is now in use in the Dutch Ronald
McDonald Houses Arnhem, Beetsterzwaag, The Hague,
Groningen, Maastricht, Middenwest-Brabant,
Nijmegen, Rotterdam, Utrecht, Valkenburg and
Zwolle [2]. |

DOLLSVILLA
IN DUTCH VILLA PARDOES |
|
The DollsVilla will try to contribute to a
cheerful holiday for families with a child
[4-12] with a serious illness or condition.
Far away from doctors in white coats in long
hospital corridors. |
|
Twelve families can simultaneously spend a
week's holiday [free of charge] in Villa
Pardoes, they live in their own apartment,
adjacent to a shared courtyard. Amusement
park the Efteling
in Kaatsheuvel is right next to Villa
Pardoes. |
|
General
Manager Villa Pardoes, Yvonne
Keasberry: |
"What a
beautiful dollsvilla, in terms of execution,
philosophy and possibilities. These are
really special gifts for Villa Pardoes. So
many children will experience moments of
happiness and play, together or just by
themselves. How wonderful it is to
experience adventures while playing, to be
able to stay in your own little world, to be
able to let worries or sadness fade into the
background or to be able to give them more
of a place. Despite the fact that the donor
would like to remain in the background, I
hope that you will see the opportunity to
convey our great gratitude and enthusiasm." |

Villa Pardoes was
founded in 2000 on the initiative of Piet van Haaren from the
Efteling Nature Park Foundation. The board was inspired by the
successful “Give Kids The World”. Families in the US with a
terminally ill child were offered a holiday bungalow at a holiday
park. |

A
Ronald McDonald House helps families with sick
children. The house provides a place to stay for
parents and siblings of children who are in
hospital, so that they can be close to their
child while it is being treated. The goal is to
support families during difficult times and to
offer them a "home away from home". There are
several Ronald McDonald Houses in the
Netherlands, often located near academic [children's]
hospitals. Each house is largely run by
volunteers and, in addition to accommodation,
also offers support and relaxation to families
during stressful times. |

RESEARCH INTO THE EFFECTS OF THE |
DOLLSVILLA IN HEALTHCARE |
|
DollsVilla has concluded its summer recess and
is now moving on with gusto to Dutch mental health institutions for children.
The added value of the villa for psycho- and play therapists, child
psychiatrists and psychologists is crystal clear. When a girl or boy sees
PoppenVilla, only that exists. The noise around it disappears. And thus
contributes to a pure behavioral observation. Making contact with children
is smooth and natural; cozy together with the caregiver on stools at
PoppenVilla. |
|
The children's and youth branch Youz of the
Parnassia group will receive new
DollsVilla's tomorrow: Gouda, Utrecht,
Purmerend, Zaandam and Velsen. Which brings
the total to 15 Youz locations. The medical
orthopedagogical centers 't Kabouterhuis
will start with 7 PoppenVillas: Amsterdam
[4], Amstelveen, Hoofddorp and Uithoorn. |
|
Call for researchers/professors: A wonderful promotional project is coming
up, the PoppenVilla has been used professionally since 1999, including in
approximately 120 hospitals and 200 mental health locations.

CHATGTP ABOUT
THE 'POPPENVILLA' |
|
ChatGTP, the
language model with artificial intelligence, shows the following
information about the Dutch PoppenVilla dated 2024.08.27: |
|
A
"Poppenvilla" refers to a high-quality
dollhouse designed for children, often made
with a focus on craftsmanship and attention
to detail. The term is Dutch, where "poppen"
means dolls and "villa" means a large house
or villa, so it translates directly to "doll
villa" or "dollhouse." |
|
These dollhouses are typically made from wood and
are designed to be more than just toys—they're
often created with an educational or
developmental focus, encouraging children to
engage in imaginative play, learn about
architecture, or understand social roles. |
|
One well-known
brand associated with the term "Poppenvilla"
is PoppenVilla by Liliane. This brand is
recognized for creating luxury dollhouses
that are robust, beautifully crafted, and
designed to be accessible for children of
different abilities. Liliane Limpens is
actually the founder of this brand. She
created these dollhouses with the intention
of providing children, including those with
disabilities, a toy that encourages
imaginative play and social interaction. |
|
The PoppenVilla dollhouses are often used in
therapeutic settings, schools, and homes,
and they stand out due to their inclusive
design and high-quality materials. |
