About this care
Bij Boer Bas is an agricultural daycare center located in the heart of Zuidschermer, situated on a working organic farm at Blokkerweg 14. We provide care for up to 32 children aged 0 to 4 years, divided into two vertical groups: the Kalfjes and the Lammetjes. As a registered daycare center (KDV), we are listed in the National Childcare Register under LRK number 917688259 and are affiliated with the United Agricultural Childcare (VAK). Our location is unique as children grow up in an authentic farm environment where they have daily contact with animals, nature, and the rhythm of farm life. Children learn playfully about vegetables, fruits, and caring for farm animals. We operate according to the guidelines, vision, and protocols of VAK, with safety, sustainability, and nature experience at the core. Our opening hours are from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM (Monday through Friday), and our rates include food and diapers.Read more
