Children go straight from lunch to the after-school center, where their parents can pick them up any time during the afternoon until 5.30 p.m.
Children from all classes spend their time together. This builds on the school's overall concept, which is based on a small and interconnected group. The center thus lets friends of all ages "flock together" each afternoon to enjoy their shared interests.
The after-school center also has an extensive garden and its own games room, a gym next door, ping pong, and two small relaxation rooms if children would like to rest somewhere quiet.
Over the course of the afternoon, children that are enrolled in school clubs are taken to and from them by teachers. Clubs run in parallel with the after-school center.
Starting from half past three, snacks are available in the small lunchroom for those who want them. Drinks are available all day.

Children have a choice of program. As well as their own ideas, they may choose from the center's planned activities and a wide range of sports.
In the garden they have a sandpit, climbing frames and slides, a trampoline, swings and ball games. They can even try walking on stilts, and in the summer there is a swimming pool with showers...
In the gym children can take part in competitions, tackle the obstacle course, play dodgeball and floorball, take a shot at all kinds of things, crawl through the string maze...
Favorites in the games room are the building blocks and board games. Space is also set aside for creative spirits.
