What Makes Our BSO Special
Bilingual Afternoons
Dutch and English flow naturally throughout activities, games, and conversations—perfect for international families.
STEAM Exploration
Science, technology, engineering, arts, and math through hands-on projects that feel like play but build future skills.
Outdoor Adventure
Daily outdoor time regardless of weather—because fresh air, movement, and nature are essential after a day of classroom learning.
Child-Led Clubs
Kids vote on special interest clubs each term—from cooking to coding, sports to storytelling—empowering their choices.
Two Perspectives
"I was worried about after-school care feeling institutional. But my son comes home talking about science experiments and forest adventures, not just 'daycare'."
— Joost, Parent of Liam (7)
"We made a volcano that ACTUALLY EXPLODED! And nobody even got in trouble!"
— Liam (7)
"As a working parent, I needed practical care hours. What I didn't expect was how the BSO would become my daughter's favorite part of the day."
— Maria, Parent of Sophie (9)
"I learned how to say 'look at my awesome fort' in Dutch. And I made three best friends."
— Sophie (9)
