About this care
Hero BSO Betuwelaan is a welcoming after-school care facility located at Betuwelaan 2 in Haarlem-Schalkwijk, right next to De Molenwiek primary school. We provide care for up to 50 children aged 4 to 12. Our team consists of enthusiastic, musically inclined pedagogical professionals who apply the Dalton principles: independence, cooperation, responsibility and reflection are at the heart of everything we do.
After school, children can relax, play sports or engage in creative activities. We offer a safe space where every child can be themselves and discover who they are at their own pace. Our activities are tailored to the children's interests and stimulate their development in a playful way. We believe children thrive best in an environment where fun and challenge go hand in hand.
Hero BSO Betuwelaan is part of Hero kindercentra, the place for childcare in Haarlem and Spaarndam. Together with parents and schools, we work towards a promising future for every child. For more information or a tour, please contact us at BetuwelaanBSO@herokindercentra.nl or 023-5409120.Read more
