About this care
BSO de Beukelseberg – Jeugdland is located right in the middle of Jeugdland, a large adventurous natural playground on the edge of Flevopark in Amsterdam East. Our after-school care location welcomes up to 20 children aged 6 to 13. Every day is a new adventure: children build huts with hammers, nails and pallets, climb the slide hill, light campfires at the fire pit, zip across the water on the cableway and bake their own pizzas in the outdoor oven. From November to April we have the privilege of having the entire park to ourselves.
When it rains heavily, children can relax indoors, read, play games or build with our extensive LEGO collection. Because there is a lot of water on site and children are allowed to play independently, every child must hold a valid swimming certificate.
BSO de Beukelseberg – Jeugdland is part of Stichting Kindercentrum Watergraafsmeer Amsterdam (KCWA). We work closely with local primary schools to safely pick up children after school and guide them to our location. Our pedagogical staff are ready to give the children an unforgettable afternoon full of challenge, relaxation and fun in nature.Read more
