I don't know the reaction it would have on the coolant but I would advise you to flush out your system immediately and put in fresh coolant.

What would happen if you poured a windshield washer fluid in your engine coolant reservoir?
Do not run the engine with windshield washer fluid in the cooling system. Most washer fluids contain methane alcohol and is not the same kind of chemical found in coolant. I strongly recommend thoroughly flushing the system and using new coolant. It may be wise to exchange the thermostat. The problem with a foreign chemical circulating the system is manifold and head gaskets could be damaged and if you are unable to replace these seals it can cost thousands of dollars.

Probably the thermostat is sticking.

Will it damage my van if i accidentally poured windshield washer fluid into the radiator reservoir?
No it won't hurt it. If you only poured a little in the radiator I wouldn't give it another thought. If you poured a quart or more in there you probably need to get your radiator flushed before the temperature starts hitting any extremes. Aluminum engine parts can be a little touchy if they aren't heated and cooled uniformly.
