About this care
Located right in the heart of Amsterdam-Oost’s Indische Buurt, our after-school care at Balistraat 79 offers two large BSO groups within De Indische Buurtschool. Every afternoon our qualified staff walk over from the school to collect the children and bring them to our bright, spacious rooms and the on-site gym.
Children decide for themselves how they want to spend the afternoon. One day they might choose an energetic sports circuit in the gym, the next a creative art workshop or a baking session. We regularly organise exciting excursions: treasure hunts in Artis, playground adventures in Oosterpark, or cultural visits to local museums. During school holidays we stay open and plan special day trips such as cycling to the Amsterdamse Bos, beach outings or craft days led by professional guest instructors.
Outdoor play takes place on our own rooftop terrace, the secure schoolyard or in the nearby playgrounds. After a busy school day we believe it is important that children can unwind and choose whether they want to run around, quietly create something, or simply chat with friends. Our pedagogical staff are always on hand to listen and to guide the children in their development and independence.
Feel free to drop by for a tour. We are happy to show you around and explain how your child can play, discover and grow with us after school.Read more
