About this care
BSO De Paltrok is a welcoming after-school care facility located in the Westerwatering district of Zaandam. We are situated within the De Rietvink primary school building, allowing children to transition directly from their school day to a familiar and safe environment. Our team of professional childcare staff is ready every day to provide children aged 4 to 12 with a place where they can relax, play, and discover new things.
Our spacious location accommodates up to 42 children. We utilize the school's facilities, including the auditorium, gymnasium, and play hall. Additionally, we have an exciting outdoor area featuring a natural playground where children can climb, explore, and have adventures. There is also a sports field equipped with a zip line, climbing ropes, swings, and a playhouse with a slide.
After school, children can participate in various activities such as arts and crafts, reading, outdoor play, or computer activities. Our staff picks up children from school and provides a warm welcome. We offer morning care starting at 7:15 AM and after-school care that aligns with the school's continuous schedule until 6:30 PM. We are also open during school holidays and study days.
