About this care
BSO De Fontein is located on the ground floor of primary school De Fontein at IJsselmeerstraat 184 in Den Helder. Since January 2021, the after-school care has been working closely with the school, allowing children to step inside safely and directly after classes.
Our BSO accommodates up to 44 children aged 4 to 12. We are open on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from the end of the school day until 18:30. During school holidays we are also open on Wednesday from 7:30 to 18:30.
Kappio’s qualified pedagogical staff provide a varied programme of activities tailored to the children’s interests. We offer both calm spaces for homework or relaxation and active play areas. In holiday periods we organise theme-based activities and regular outings in and around Den Helder.
Parents who would like to learn more about our approach or wish to take a tour are always welcome. Feel free to drop by; our team will be happy to tell you all about BSO De Fontein.Read more
