Trusted partner to all International Schools in The Hague
Zein & BSN celebrating over 10 years of mutual progressive partnership • International Day Care • Pre-School Playgroup • After School Care • Holiday Camps
Setting the Standard for Outstanding International Childcare Zein has provided international childcare to BSN families for over a decade. As a trusted partner to the BSN and BSN families, Zein understands the unique needs and expectations of internationally diverse families, the way no other childcare provider does. It is this empathic child and family oriented approach that ensures Zein is the first choice for the majority of BSN parents looking for high quality care for their children.
Understanding Expats’ Needs and Expectations Zein understands that international childcare means much more than simply speaking English. We fully understand that globally mobile families have different needs and expectations above and beyond what is normally offered in standard childcare. These include small touches that make big difference such as
working with a small number of children at a time to ensure focused quality, giving children freshly prepared warm meals and snacks throughout the day and employing internationally diverse staff who understand the needs of ‘Third Culture Kids’. Our philosophy and approach to childcare is greatly embedded in the uniqueness of ‘Third Culture Kids’ as model citizens of tomorrow. Our teachers are professionally trained on the concept of ‘Third Culture Kids’ and the application of the unique attributes in daily fun developmental activities.
Zein has won several awards for an innovative and progressive approach to childcare and was recently nominated for the
Best Childcare Provider in the Netherlands

Professional Caring Teachers Zein teachers are loving role models with an international background. Our teachers are trained and experienced professionals who truly love working with children. They are there to nurture, guide and support the children to discover themselves and their innate abilities to be the best they can be in all areas of development and learning. We believe in investing in the development of our staff for the benefit of the children in our care. The Zein Academy was set up to provide professional tailor-made training for all childcare staff. Our trainings are unique in the international childcare world with a focus on the developmental needs of the child as a capable person, the child as a valuable member of society, the international and multilingual child, the teachers as an empathic positive guardian and the family as a positive collaborator.
