About this care
Welcome to Babino BSO de Zoeker, located at Fortuinweg 12 in the heart of Zaandijk. We are part of the Integral Child Center (IKC) that we form together with public primary school OBS De Zoeker. This unique collaboration means that children can seamlessly transition from their classroom to our after-school care location after school, without having to leave the school building.
Our BSO has two dedicated rooms in the main building: the Blue Dolphin and the Green Dragon. The Blue Dolphin is specially designed for our youngest BSO children and offers a homely atmosphere with challenging play areas and materials. The Green Dragon is more focused on older children, with an interior that invites both play and relaxation. For the youngest BSO children, we also have a cozy furnished room at our Dependance location on Rooswijkplein.
At BSO De Zoeker, children have plenty of space to play and discover. We have access to two large school playgrounds where children can enjoy active outdoor play. Every day we offer an activity such as sports and games, creative activities, or cooking for lunch. During holidays, we organize an exciting activity program including trips to the forest, amusement parks, or bowling alleys. We believe it's important that after-school care time remains the children's free time, so there's always enough space to relax and do your own thing.
Our opening hours are flexible: for before-school care we are open from 7:00 AM until school starts, for after-school care from the end of the school day until 6:30 PM. During holidays and study days, we provide care from 7:00/8:00 AM to 6:30 PM. We work closely with OBS De Zoeker, ensuring children experience a familiar environment and we can optimally support their continuous development.Read more
