About this care
Our after-school care (BSO) is part of Kindcentrum Het Ooievaarsnest, a small and welcoming center located at Kalbstraat 1 in Zwaag. We provide after-school care for up to 66 children aged 4 to 12 years. The care is housed in a quiet neighborhood and forms one familiar environment together with the primary school.
We operate from the belief that care and education form one whole. Our pedagogical staff create a homely atmosphere where children feel safe and at ease. There is plenty of room for personal attention from regular supervisors who see each child as unique.
The BSO is a true learning environment where children can relax, play and discover new things after school. We offer a varied range of activities that connect with the world of experience of primary school children. Our location works together with primary school De Wingerd and other schools in the area, allowing us to pick up children after school and bring them directly to a familiar place.
As part of Stichting Talent, which has more than 40 years of experience in care and education in Hoorn and surroundings, we guarantee quality childcare in which the well-being and development of your child are central.Read more
