About this care
Welcome to Kindcentrum De Meulebeek, our small-scale childcare located within the primary school at Watermolenstraat 3 in Oostrum. Due to this unique location, we work closely with the school: we play outside together with the kindergarteners and organize joint activities. We have an open door policy, allowing different groups to have close contact and enabling us to work in a very child-centered way. Siblings can easily see each other.
A major advantage is our small team. Our pedagogical professionals work in both toddler and after-school care. They ensure that your child plays outside enough, including in the nearby playground and the village's multi-sports field.
We offer day care for children aged 0 to 4 years. Early drop-off from 7:00 AM and extended care until 6:30 PM are possible under certain conditions. Our day care provides a safe, calm and warm environment where children can develop at their own pace. We work with an annual subscription (52 weeks) or a school subscription (40 weeks), with a minimum of two half-days per week.Read more
