De Kleine Linde is located at Bruggesteenweg 41 in Ruiselede and has been part of the Kindercentrum family since 2021. The daily management is led by team coach Hannah Lahousse. We are looking forward to moving to a brand-new location on Brandstraat in 2025. More details coming soon!

Operation

We have space for 23 children aged 0-3 years. Every day, 6 dedicated caregivers are responsible for looking after the children.

Our spaces are divided in such a way that there is a separate baby room where the youngest children can stay. This room accommodates up to 5 babies. The large main room has space for 18 children.

Once the children start crawling, they can gradually be introduced to the older children. We build this up during quiet moments in the playroom. Growing up with us happens in a warm, homely atmosphere. By offering the necessary attention, cuddles, and encouragement, we aim to help each child develop their individuality and grow into a confident preschooler. We offer daily educational activities, tailored to the age and interests of the children. Both the youngest and older children are actively involved in our activities.

What we value

We have a beautiful garden and a covered outdoor area, allowing us to play outside even on less favorable days. As soon as the sun comes out, we head outdoors. In the summer, we live and play outside. Our tree provides plenty of shade during outdoor play and picnicking (oh yes, we do that too). Even the youngest children get to enjoy the nature around us.

The themed photos that we proudly display in our center are our pride and joy. Additionally, we love celebrating children's birthdays. Theme days are a unique opportunity for us to dress up. We also bake weekly.
