About this care
Welcome to IKC 't Palet, located in the modern 'Stadsleven' building at Gedempte Biersloot 3b in the heart of Vlaardingen. Our Integrated Child Center provides both primary education and after-school care (BSO) for children aged 4 to 13. We are open 52 weeks a year from 7:00 AM to 6:30 PM.
Our after-school care offers children a familiar place to unwind and recharge after school. Each afternoon starts with a quiet moment in our shared space where children can enjoy a drink and fresh fruit. Afterwards, there's plenty of room for relaxation and activities.
Our central location in downtown Vlaardingen provides ideal opportunities for outings. We regularly visit the Hof, the playground near Broekpolder, the museum, or the library. For children who prefer to stay indoors, there's the option to play table football or engage in creative activities.
Our childcare staff work according to a vertical group structure, where children of different ages play and learn together. We believe it's important that children feel safe and at home with us. Therefore, we have an enclosed playground where children can play to their heart's content.
IKC 't Palet is part of KomKids childcare and works closely with the school within our Integrated Child Center, creating a continuous line in your child's development.Read more
