Daycare

Childcare and day care are currently not possible because the help of sponsors is necessary for this.

Childcare for children with special needs and respite care in Flemish Brabant, and more specifically in the Pajottenland. See below for more information about day care.

Why a daycare for children with a little something extra?

Many children cannot attend regular daycare because, for example, there is no nurse present. Not continuously. However, due to their specific care needs, these children do require this.

As a result, the parents are forced to either reduce or stop working. Which, of course, does not benefit their financial situation. Nor does it benefit their social contacts.

Childcare must be organized in such a way that children can receive physiotherapy and speech therapy there. This is so that parents no longer have to worry about these things when they come to pick up their child.

After children return home, follow-up via home nursing

Which target group?

Children with a chronic/rare disease requiring specific care intensity.

  • Respiratory disorders
  • Neurological disorders
  • Endocrine disorders
  • Metabolic diseases
  • Liver disorders
  • Blood disorders
  • Acquired brain disorders
  • Burns
  • Premature babies/neonates
  • Cardiological conditions

All these children often require specific care (tube feeding, ventilation, wound care, catheter care,……)

Childcare for children with special needs and respite care in Flemish Brabant, and more specifically in the Pajottenland.

At the moment, we have 3 houses for respite care in Belgium:

DECISION: not a single respite care home in Flemish Brabant and East Flanders.

Childcare for children with a little extra:

In Flemish Brabant, in the Pajottenland region, there is an offer in Halle, but not for specialized care. Only in Leuven and Vilvoorde.
In East Flanders, only in the Aalst, Deinze, and Ghent regions.

DECISION: Parents from the Pajottenland and the Geraardsbergen region have to travel long distances to take their child to childcare.
