IKC Van Kampen BSO Paterstraat

Welcome to IKC Van Kampen BSO Paterstraat, the after-school care located within the Christian Integral Child Centre Van Kampen in the heart of Vlaardingen. We provide care for up to 64 children aged 4 to 12 and work closely with the primary school housed in the same building. Our premises are at Paterstraat 1, within walking distance of several primary schools, allowing us to pick up children safely after school and escort them to our BSO. The child is always at the centre of everything we do. We offer a safe, homely environment where children can be themselves and discover their talents. Our work is grounded in Christian core values: respect, friendship, nature & environment, courage, cooperation, hospitality, technology and quality. These values are translated into concrete activities and projects that connect with the child’s world. Our pedagogical staff guide the children in a positive, stimulating way. Our programme is broad and varied. We make extensive use of our spacious green outdoor area where children can run, build, garden and explore nature. We also offer creative activities such as crafts, drawing and handwork. Sports and games, technology and science are also well represented. During school holidays we run themed vacation programmes, such as ‘building animal shelters in nature’, involving creative and active outdoor fun. We communicate with parents via the Schoolpraat app. You can easily report absences, view photos of your child and stay informed about all activities and announcements. At our centre parents are partners, not spectators. We value your input and involvement in our care, so we regularly organise parent evenings and parents are welcome to help with activities. In short, at IKC Van Kampen BSO Paterstraat we give children a familiar place where they can relax, play and develop after school. We look forward to welcoming your child!
