Okidoki Kinderopvang

What Okidoki Kinderopvang does

Okidoki Kinderopvang is a Dutch childcare organization founded in 1992 and headquartered at Langestraat 132 in 's-Gravenzande, Netherlands. It operates as a 'maatschappelijke kinderopvangorganisatie' (societal/non-profit childcare entity), meaning surplus is reinvested in the organization rather than distributed to shareholders. The company delivers three integrated service lines: Dagopvang (full-day childcare for children aged 0–4), Peuteropvang (preschool for ages 2–4), and Buitenschoolse opvang/BSO (before-, after-school, and holiday care for ages 4–12). It serves 26+ locations across five towns in the municipality of Westland ('s-Gravenzande, Heenweg, Naaldwijk, Kwintsheul, and Wateringen), with many BSO sites embedded directly inside primary schools.

Underlying technology consists of the Konnect ouderportaal (parent portal and mobile app) used for daily parent–staff communication, photo sharing, policy document distribution, and administration, and the proprietary 'Ben ik in Beeld' VE observation program used to monitor child development across all sites. An internal Expertisecentrum Kinderopvang translates pedagogical research into practice. There is no public API, SDK, or disclosed AI/ML capability.

Revenue is generated through recurring subscription-style unit pricing per hour of care: daycare at approximately €11.82–€13.29 per hour, preschool at €11.39–€11.82 per hour (plus an income-tiered subsidized option exclusive to Westland residents ranging from €0.45 to €6.89 per hour), and BSO at €9.41–€11.93 per hour across flexible packages. Pricing is gross of government childcare allowance (kinderopvangtoeslag), and fees are billed monthly by direct debit. The customer base consists of working and studying parents in Westland, plus children with VE (developmental support) indications funded by the municipality. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer through the company website, the aanmeldenkinderopvang.nl enrollment portal, facility tours, and community-led referrals via schools, JGZ, and welfare partners. Two interim directors (Ernst van Hartevelt as Directeur-bestuurder ad interim and Kelly Niemantsverdriet as Operationeel directeur ad interim) currently lead the organization, which most recently announced expansion with two new BSO locations in Wateringen in July 2026.
