Community Childcare in Amsterdam: Celebrating 50 Years of Robbeburg

from Dam Parenting · host Dam Parenting Podcast

What does it take for a community space to thrive for half a century? In this special episode, Eva takes us inside Robbeburg, a family-founded community center in Amsterdam Zuid that has served as a vital lifeline for international parents since the 1970s. We’re joined by volunteer Kelli to take a warm, honest, and direct look at the power of community-led childcare and the essential role these spaces play in preventing the isolation so common in expat life.We discuss Robbeburg’s unique history, its future, and why local support systems are the backbone of a successful life abroad. To mark this 50-year milestone, we’re also highlighting an incredible community raffle featuring prizes from over 30 local businesses—from sleep coaching and wellness sessions to Dutch lessons and dining experiences. Tune in to hear how you can support this Amsterdam institution and ensure that the next generation of international families has a place to belong.
