The Hague, 25 August 2026 – Parents and caregivers considering international childcare are warmly invited to the Basker International Childcare Open Day on Saturday 19 September 2026, from 10.00 to 14.00. All Basker International Childcare locations will open their doors to prospective parents and caregivers. Visitors are welcome to discover the locations, meet the team and learn more about Basker’s international childcare.
During the Open Day, parents and caregivers will have the opportunity to experience the different Basker International Childcare locations first-hand. Visitors can take a tour, meet the dedicated teams and find out more about the international and multilingual childcare Basker offers.
There will also be plenty of opportunity to ask questions and get to know the atmosphere and approach of each location in an informal environment. Practical topics such as opening hours, daily routines, fees, settling-in procedures and working in partnership with parents can also be discussed.
More than childcare
Basker International Childcare provides childcare in an international and multilingual environment where children can develop at their own pace and in their own way. The organisation supports both social and cognitive development, while recognising each child’s individual background and unique story.
In a safe and stimulating environment that feels like a second home, children are given the space to discover who they are, explore their interests and develop their understanding of the world around them. Basker’s pedagogical professionals provide guidance, structure and warmth, helping children to grow in confidence and independence.
"Choosing childcare often starts with a feeling: is this the right place for my child and our family? During our Open Day, parents can experience this for themselves," says Arjan Doorenspleet, Area Manager at Basker International Childcare. "By visiting our locations, looking around and meeting our team, parents can get a clear impression of how we support children in their development."
Practical information
The Open Day will take place on Saturday 19 September 2026 from 10.00 to 14.00. All Basker International Childcare locations will take part. Interested parents and caregivers can find more information about the participating locations and register in advance via the Basker International Childcare website.
