About this care
Natuurfontein Houthavens is our after-school care location at Revaleiland 170 in Amsterdam. We welcome up to 50 children aged 4 to 12. As part of Natuurfontein, Amsterdam's green outdoor after-school care, nature experience is at our core. Our three pillars are basic nature knowledge, City Scout, and the inner child.
Children go outside every day, rain or shine. We explore urban nature, learn about plants and animals, and develop imagination. We use healthy, organic products and promote sustainable living. Our pedagogical staff guide children in developing their own identity and help them see the city as one big playground. We pick up children from nearby primary schools and provide a safe place to play, discover and grow.Read more
