About this care
Welcome to IKC Het Balkon, located at Het Lage Licht 15 in Maassluis. As an Integral Child Centre, we combine education and childcare under one roof. Our after-school care (BSO) is designed for children aged 4 to 13. Affiliated with UN1EK, we provide a safe and stimulating environment before and after school hours, where children can play, relax, and explore new things.
Our pedagogical staff offer a varied programme tailored to the age and interests of the children. We work with three age groups and align activities with the vision of the IKC. During school holidays we run themed holiday care programmes. Children who are not regularly enrolled are also welcome during holiday weeks.
Registration, placement and payment are handled through UN1EK. Parents who work or study can apply for childcare allowance. You are always welcome to contact us for a personal tour.Read more
