A
Our new childcare location in Scheveningen!
The center is surrounded by numerous international institutes and embassies and is conveniently located just 10 minutes from The Hague city center. You can easily pick up and drop off your child thanks to the many parking spaces close to the entrance.
Our services
Big Ben Kids provides day care, preschool care and after-school care. Our activity programme includes language lessons, violin lessons, guitar lessons and much more. Activities are held indoors, but can also be external, such as swimming in the river, and field trips to the woods. Children learn dancing, making music, and the native language—Dutch! They learn through play. Our curriculum is carefully designed in such a way that the children don’t even notice how much they learn each day. For them, it’s all about playing and having fun!
What does Big Ben Kids offer your family?
·Homelike environment
A warm and stimulating(趣味盎然的) atmosphere that allows children to grow and develop safely.
·A truly international place
Our staff members come from all over the world, just like the families we serve. We are therefore acutely aware that our centers should be much more than places that simply care for children. We always go the extra mile(加倍努力)to help families and try to bring everyone together to form a friendly international community.
·Healthy meals
At Big Ben Kids, we serve two warm, healthy, homemade meals each day. The snacks are nutritious as well, with lots of fruit and vegetables. Parents receive our menu every week in advance.
