Individual attention

Our childcare staff focuses all their time and attention on the children. For instance, we don’t just change diapers because it’s needed, for us it’s a moment of genuine and loving attention.
Horizontal groups

We keep peers together as they can then learn from each other. It also enables us to adjust to your child’s daily routine and adapt the space entirely to your child’s age.
Challenging gardens

A child learns and plays differently outdoors than indoors. That’s why we pay as much attention to the design of our gardens as we do to the indoor spaces at our locations.
Fresh, hot lunch

Seeing others eat, encourages you to eat, which is why we prepare our own fresh, hot lunch every day to eat together with the children. They can then learn from each other and your child will discover new flavors.
Our design

Our furniture and play equipment grow with your child’s age and development. Lots of our play equipment is at a child’s height so they can easily grab the items they want to use themselves.

Care and attention for your child at our childcare centers in Amsterdam

A moment of eye contact, a gentle touch, or responding when a child needs you—these things come naturally to our staff. At our childcare centers in Amsterdam, every child receives the attention and guidance they need to grow and thrive.

In Wereldwijs, our pedagogical program, we explain how we shape that guidance at our daycare centers in Amsterdam, and why we do it this way. As a parent, this program gives you clear insight into the developmental areas we focus on for your child.

An environment that fits your child

We create a rich learning environment tailored to your child’s world of experience. With a clear daily rhythm and carefully composed age-based groups, our spaces, routines, and activities are perfectly aligned with your child’s developmental stage.

Every day, we prepare fresh and healthy meals in our own kitchen. And at all our locations, you’ll find adventurous gardens where children can play outside and explore nature. Outdoor play and movement are essential parts of our daily routine.

A place where talents can flourish

After school, children need time to relax, move, play, and connect with peers. At our after-school care (BSO) in Amsterdam, we give children the freedom to be themselves. We offer an inspiring environment filled with materials and activities that encourage exploration, while allowing each child to decide what they want to do that day.

Gaining confidence to make their own choices is key. This helps children discover their talents at their own pace, in a safe, stimulating, and loving setting. Our dedicated staff guide and encourage them, supporting their unique development.

Children aged 4 to 12 grow rapidly, each in their own way. That’s why all the care and attention at our BSO locations in Amsterdam is focused on personal growth. Of course, we safely pick up your child from school and bring them to the BSO. Our locations are spacious, warmly decorated with high-quality materials, and in the kitchen we cook healthy, varied meals daily—often together with the children.

The expected waiting time for a place at Kindergarden in Amsterdam varies depending on several factors, such as the required days, the parents’ flexibility and availability of places. We have two types of waiting lists: an internal priority waiting list for siblings and for requests for extra days for children who already have a place, and a general waiting list for children not yet placed. The waiting time may be several months because we depend on cancellations or changes to the plans to make new places available. We always try to offer a place to suit your needs as soon as possible, but the exact timing may vary.
