After-school care Kindcentrum De Horizon
4 to 13 years
Places available *
In the Groenelaan district in Amstelveen, we will be establishing an integrated child centre together with De Horizon primary school. Primary education, day care, preschool and after-school care will be under one and the same roof.
We will cooperate closely with the primary school, to enable children up to the age of 13 to develop naturally through fun and play in a continuous learning line at this location. At our after-school care we also share our group rooms with the primary school, which ensures that the children feel familiar and safe.
Our rooms have large windows that overlook the outdoor playground and provide plenty of light. The groups are decorated with calm colours and plants, creating a homely and cosy atmosphere.
Our committed and experienced team regularly organises activities such as cooking, sports or vegetable gardening. We also give the children the opportunity to share and discuss their ideas for activities. This allows them to further discover and develop their talents and passions. The children decide for themselves whether they want to take part in the activities.
If they rather read a book, listen to music, play a game with their after-school care friends or romp in the beautiful nature garden (which our new building in the same street will have, where we are expected to move in early 2025), then that’s absolutely fine too!
* We will start After-school care Kindcentrum De Horizon in September 2024 at the current location. We expect to move to our new premises in early 2025. You can already register now.

What does a day at our after-school care look like?
Every day may be different at after-school care. Below you can find out what a day at our after-school care basically looks like on a regular school day.
As soon as school is out, your child will be picked up from school by us or your child comes to the after-school care location by him/herself.
When all the children are inside, we go and sit around the table and have something to eat and drink, and we give the children some fruit. We use this moment to talk and catch up with the children.
After the table time, children are given the choice to play by themselves or join in the activities organised by us.
Untill 6.30 p.m.: time to pick up your child or your child will go home on his/her own in accordance with the agreements made. Will you pick up your child? Then the educational staff will take a moment to go through your child’s day with you during the handover. The educational staff member will focus on your child’s growth during the day.
Practical information
Settling-in at after-school care
During the settling-in period, we take the time to get to know both you and your child, and let you familiarise with the new situation. Settling in is an individual matter, matching the developmental stage of children and the specific needs and habits of children and parents.
Groups
We currently have 1 after-school care group at this location with children aged 4 to 13.
Parent committee
The parent committee of after-school care Kindcentrum De Horizon will be set up after we start this location in September 2024.
