Home vzw de Ukkies Daycare School care Useful links Contact History vzw De Ukkies In 1969 the first toddler garden for 20 children (18 to 36 months) was opened. This toddler garden was connected to the Zegestraat school and was created at the express request of mothers from the neighborhood who worked in the Philips factory. In 1972 a second toddler ward was opened in the Zegestraat. In 1975 these departments moved to the new building in Erasmuslaan. 66 children from 0 to 3 years old were cared for in this new day-care center. In 1979 we received recognition for 167 beds and in 1994 a capacity expansion to 172 child places. With this number, we were then the largest daycare center in the Flemish country. Until 1990, the day care center was run by sisters of the Congregation Sisters Kindsheid Jesu. Afterwards, the policy passed to lay people. The sisters remained represented on the Board of Directors. Over the years, a number of other tasks were also included, such as taking care of the sick child, taking care of toddlers during the holidays, later extended to primary school children, ... We have also undergone a whole evolution in pedagogical terms: sleeping at your own rhythm, change groups less often,… In order to meet the new pedagogical expectations, we started a major renovation in 2006, in order to achieve a "semi-vertical" effect, in which children from 0 to 16 to 18 months on the one hand and children from 18 to 36 months on the other hand. The renovation was accompanied by a capacity expansion of 10 places. From 2008, we can simultaneously take care of 182 children between 0 and 3 years at De Ukkies. In februari 2000 was de Speeltoren klaar, een nieuwbouw erkend voor 107 kinderen en aangrenzend aan het kinderdagverblijf. In deze buitenschoolse opvang zijn schoolgaande kinderen van 2,5 tot 12 jaar welkom. Tijdens het schooljaar 's morgens en 's avonds en tijdens de vakanties en schoolvrije dagen van 's morgens tot 's avonds. In 2001 openden wij "het Speeltorentje", een buitenschoolse opvang in Godsheide voor 22 kinderen en in 2003 "het Speelhuis" voor 73 kinderen. In 2010 konden wij dankzij een tewerkstellingsproject ook een opvang voor 27 kinderen openen in de Catharinaschool, "het Speelhuisje". Sinds 2005 loopt in de buitenschoolse opvang ook een project "flexibele opvang". Via dit project bieden wij verruimde openingsuren aan. Vzw De Ukkies is op enkele jaren tijd uitgegroeid tot een "grote" vzw met een totale capaciteit van 411 erkende kindplaatsen. © 2016 ukkies.be
