Smallsteps aan de Amstel is a welcoming and safe after-school care facility in Ouderkerk aan de Amstel. Located at Schoolweg 43, we provide a nurturing environment for children aged 4 to 12 years after school hours. Our dedicated team of childcare professionals is committed to making every child feel at home.
We believe in creating a homely atmosphere where children can play, explore, and learn new things. Our spaces are designed to cater to different age groups and interests, ensuring every child finds their place. We have a large garden where children can enjoy outdoor play and activities.
Our activities are diverse and engaging, ranging from sports and games to arts and crafts, music, and creative projects. We also provide ample free play time, allowing children to choose their own activities. Our themes align with children's experiences and stimulate their curiosity.
We collaborate with local primary schools, safely picking up children after school and bringing them to our location. Parents can collect their children until 6:30 PM. During school holidays and study days, we are open all day from 7:30 AM to 6:30 PM.
We value open communication with parents. Through our parent app, we keep you updated on your child's development and share photos and special moments. Together, we ensure your child has a wonderful time with us!Read more
