About this care
Welcome to BSO Tamarinde in Zaandam! We are located in a unique spot: surrounded by nature, with our own natural playground and just a stone’s throw from the children’s farm. Children aged 4 to 12 can play, explore and relax here safely and adventurously after school.
Our location has room for up to 46 children. We are open from 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., giving parents flexible access to childcare. Each day our qualified pedagogical staff are ready to welcome the children warmly and guide them in a variety of activities. The natural environment is our biggest play area: among the trees, on the natural playground and during visits to the children’s farm, children learn playfully about animals, plants and the importance of sustainability.
BSO Tamarinde is part of TintelTuin, an organisation that has been providing committed and professional childcare in the region for many years. We work from a clear vision: at Tamarinde children are given space to be themselves, to grow at their own pace and to discover the world together with others. Our location is registered in the National Childcare Register under number 121397166 and guarantees safe, responsible and challenging care.
Feel free to drop by for a tour and experience for yourself the atmosphere of our green BSO in the heart of Zaandam.Read more
