Kindergarden Steigereiland

Welcome to Kindergarden Steigereiland in Amsterdam-East! Our after-school care in the IJburg neighborhood offers a spacious, green garden on the outskirts of Amsterdam. Our after-school care has a pleasant, open atmosphere with floor-to-ceiling windows and high ceilings.

The IJburg neighborhood is a very child-friendly area surrounded by water on the outskirts of Amsterdam, and you’ll find its wide-open spaces reflected in our after-school club, complete with floor-to-ceiling windows and elegant high ceilings. Since we believe in listening to the children, we run all activities by them first – this creates a lovely and homey atmosphere with a strong “feel-good vibe.”

When it comes to activities, we always offer the children a choice between two alternatives (they can read on the noticeboard what’s on for that day). We always offer children the opportunity to provide their own input or spend some “me-time” in a corner before joining the others. The 8+ group has its own separate corner where they can retreat if they like to, plus their own noticeboard on which they write down the activities for the entire week. During the special themed weeks, we cook, do crafts, and engage in various physical activities together.

Over the summer months we let the children participate in lots of sports, and during the winter period we have snowball fights – while indoors we keep the kids entertained with artificial snowballs, discos, and various performances. We have a small platform that we use as a stage for the performances the kids put together themselves.

You’ll find the Steigereiland after-school club on the edge of IJburg, near the A10 highway.

We pick up at the following schools:

  • Zuiderzeeschool
  • Montessori Steigereiland
  • Neptunes

The schools where we collect can change. Collection days and times may vary depending on the school.

  • Active outdoor play

    Playing outside is not only healthy. Children learn and play differently outside than they do indoors. That's why we are often found outside, always under supervision, of course!

  • Creative studio

    Here, children can truly let their imagination and creativity run free. We challenge them by offering a variety of materials (wood, stone, clay, paint, and for example, ecoline). So, it's not just about crafting and drawing, but also designing, shaping, building, and handicrafts.

  • Quiet reading corner

    A place to unwind. Take a moment for yourself by quietly reading a book or magazine. The selection is vast: from picture books to reading books. Many children curl up on the couch in the afternoon to read a Donald Duck.

  • Theater

    A fantastic space where each child can completely live out his or her fantasy. Face-painting and singing are among the options and with all the stage props and costumes, the kids put on some fantastic performances.
