About this care

AI
Welcome to the after-school care (BSO) of Kindcentrum De Paperclip, located at Van Eedenplein 9 in the centre of Heerhugowaard. We provide out-of-school care for children aged 4 to 12, both before and after school hours and during all school holidays. Our team works closely with the primary school in the same building, ensuring a smooth and familiar transition from class to after-school activities. After a day full of new impressions, children can either unwind or burn off energy with us. We organise children into age groups so that every child receives the attention they need. The rooms are set up for play, discovery and relaxation. We have our own outdoor area which we use as much as possible for football, tag, nature treasure hunts or simply running around. Our activity programme changes according to the children’s interests. They can choose from sports and games, creative craft projects, cooking and baking, music or dance. We partner with Heerhugowaard Sport, who provide a weekly sporty break. We also make regular trips to the theatre, the forest or other fun places in the region. During holidays we join forces with De Boomladder and De Klipper, guaranteeing a full and varied schedule. Parents can book flexible care, from fixed days to occasional use. We are open every school day from 7 a.m. to 6.30 p.m. and during holidays and study days. Registration is handled through Blosse Opvang. We look forward to welcoming your child!
