A direct debit (domiciliëring) is an agreement between you and the company or organization to which you owe a certain amount. You give permission for this company or organization to withdraw the amount from your bank account on a specific date. If you activate a direct debit, you receive a €2 discount on the monthly administrative fees.

Want to activate direct debit for the Group Childcare department (0 to 3 years)? Click here.

Want to activate direct debit for the Out-of-School Childcare department (2.5 to 12 years)? Click here.

Want to stop your direct debit? You can do this via your banking app. (!) Make sure to also inform your team coach, so the correct administrative fees can be applied.

Did your direct debit fail? This can happen for several reasons, such as insufficient funds in your bank account. Kindercentrum will not reattempt the direct debit, so please notify us at facturatie@kindercentrum.be so we can provide the correct instructions for a manual transfer. (!) Please note: insufficient funds may result in additional fees charged by your bank.

In case of illness or medical procedures, the team coach (and, if necessary, the caregivers) must be informed. You are required to notify the childcare location no later than 9:00 AM on the day itself.

If notification is given after 9:00 AM or not at all, a penalty of €8 will be charged. In cases of force majeure, supported by written proof (for example: an accident report following a traffic incident, a certificate from public transport in case of delay or strike, a doctor’s note, etc.), no penalty will be charged. Your sick note must be submitted to the team coach within 5 days.

In case of illness of your child, the following rules apply:

• With a doctor’s note: no penalty will be charged.

• Without a doctor’s note: a penalty will be charged.

• Without a doctor’s note, but using a respite day: no penalty will be charged.

(!) Important: Repeated and unjustified late pickups of your child may lead to a unilateral termination of the agreement, at your expense as the contract holder.

You can find the monthly invoices for group childcare via the parent portal of Deona. You will also receive the invoice by email or by post.

For out-of-school care, invoices are available via Payt and are also sent to you by email or by post.

Before February, the information in your parent portal must be completed. It is important that you enter the national registry numbers of yourself (the parent(s)) as well as your child(ren). Please complete all the information you are able to provide.

The tax certificates will be generated and will appear in your ‘MyMinFin’ account after February. You can also request them via: facturatie@kindercentrum.be.

No, you don’t need to make a reservation. However, always inform the teacher or school staff, so your child is ready and waiting in the designated childcare line. This predictability also makes the experience more comfortable for your child. Many schools use a weekly schedule—make sure to clearly mark the days your child needs childcare.

(!) Important: You must register as a client with Kindercentrum. Out-of-school childcare is not organized by the school, but by Kindercentrum vzw, and it’s essential that we have all the necessary information to properly care for your child and ensure insurance coverage.

You can register here: https://kindercentrum.be/nl/onzediensten/inschrijven-buitenschoolse-opvang/

When can my child attend childcare?

Childcare in the municipal and private primary schools is open on school days from:

7:00 to 8:30 and from 16:00 to 18:15;
on Wednesday afternoons from 11:30 to 18:15; and
on Friday afternoons from 15:00 to 18:15.

Childcare in the public education network (GO!) is open on school days as follows:

GO! Talentensprong:
7:00 to 8:30 and from 15:30 to 18:00;
on Wednesday afternoons from 12:00 to 18:00; and
on Friday afternoons from 15:15 to 18:00.

GO! Biezebos:

on Wednesday afternoons from 11:30 to 18:15; and
on Friday afternoons from 15:15 to 18:15.

Because we don’t work with registrations for before- and after-school care, it’s not possible for us to know in advance which children will be present. We also don’t have information about the absence of siblings. So, when a child badges in, we can’t verify whether they are actually supposed to attend childcare. We understand that this can be inconvenient. However, the responsibility lies with the parents. Please make sure to inform the teacher if your children are not allowed to go to childcare. That way, this situation can be avoided.

Onze inschrijvingen voor schoolvakanties gaan meestal 1 à 2 maand voor de start van de vakantie pas open. We zijn dus niet, zoals sommige andere organisaties, er heel vroeg bij. Bijvoorbeeld: inschrijvingen door de kerstvakantie gaan ongeveer begin november open. Indien je al klant bent, krijg je tijdig een mailtje. Heb je problemen met mailtjes ontvangen van onze organisatie, volg dan zeker ook onze facebookpagina of Instagram account.

Onze buitenschoolse of voor en naschoolse kinderopvang vindt momenteel enkel plaats in Waregem in 16 scholen de vrije basisschool, GO onderwijs en stedelijke basisschool. Via https://kindercentrum.be/nl/onzediensten/buitenschoolsekinderopvang/ kan je onze 16 locaties terugvingen. 

Yes, you must always register in advance for holiday care. Before- and after-school care does not require a reservation, but holiday care does.

Are you already a customer?

1. Check your parent portal

Log in to the parent portal (ouderportaal.tjek.be) in time and complete any missing information.

Want to add another child?
Fill in the online registration form for that child via:https://kindercentrum.be/nl/onzediensten/inschrijven-buitenschoolse-opvang/ Our child planning service will then create a new agreement and add the child to your account.

2. You will automatically receive an invitation to register

For every school holiday, you will automatically receive an email containing:

• a flyer with all practical information and registration dates

• the date from which you can register

• the deadline for free cancellation

After this cancellation deadline, cancellations are only possible with a doctor’s certificate.
After this date, you can still register via email.

Tip: Keep a close eye on your inbox and note the registration date in your calendar.
We also share registration announcements on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kindercentrumvzw

3. Registration confirmation

Your child is only officially registered once you have received the confirmation email. Please check this carefully.

🆕 Are you a new customer?

1. Registration

New parents must fill in an online form — one form per child.
After processing, you will receive a written agreement to sign.
Your registration is only complete after signing this agreement.

Your child will then receive a badge and can use before- and after-school care (no reservation required).

2. Registering for holiday care

Holiday care always requires advance registration.
If you register after the information for the upcoming holiday has been sent out, you will receive all details by email.

3. Free choice of location during holidays

During school holidays, you may choose any of our childcare locations — you are not limited to the location your child attends during the school year.

Yes, even during holiday childcare, we use our blue Tjek bears to check children in and out. This helps us process billing more efficiently and allows our staff to focus more on the children rather than the computer.

Did you forget the badge?
The staff can manually register your child once as an exception — we understand bags may change during the holidays.
(!) Important: If your child is manually registered for the third time, a penalty fee will be charged.

This issue can occur if you logged in just a bit too early, before the registration period officially opened.

Simply refresh your browser, and the registration period should appear.

Registrations for holiday childcare are always done via: https://ouderportaal.tjek.be/auth/login

Use the email address known to Kindercentrum and your own chosen password. (Note: Since 2023, unique login codes sent by email are no longer used!)

Kindercentrum announces the start of registrations in advance by email and on social media. So keep an eye on your mailbox (including spam and promotions folders) and follow us on Instagram and Facebook.

You can only log in if you are already a registered client with us. If it’s your first time using our holiday childcare, you will need to register as a new client first here: https://kindercentrum.be/nl/onzediensten/inschrijven-buitenschoolse-opvang/

You can send an email to bko@kindercentrum.be for this. Please note that a fee of €6 will be charged if you had reserved a half day, or €10 if you had reserved a full day. Cancellation fees do not apply in case of illness, provided a doctor's note is submitted.

Always:

• Morning snack (10-uurtje)

• Lunch

• Afternoon snack (4-uurtje)

• Refillable water bottle

In sunny weather, also bring:

• A cap or sunhat

• Extra water

Sunscreen is available at the BKO and is a regular supermarket brand.
If your child has sensitive skin, it's best to provide your own sunscreen and notify the staff. You can also add this information as a note in your child’s profile on the parent portal.

Yes, your child can sleep during holiday childcare, but not every location has a separate sleeping room. However, sleeping mats or beds are available at all locations.

• 1/3 day (up to 3 hours) = €5.84

Closing Days 

• These are the official closing days of Kindercentrum vzw for 2025 and 2026.

(!) Please note: The holiday care program may have different closing days. Always check the flyer you received for the exact dates.

You must first submit an application via https://kindercentrum.be/nl/inschrijven/ or through Opvang.Vlaanderen.
If it is difficult for you to complete the form online, you can make an appointment with the child planning service by calling the central number 056 60 73 40, option “request a spot.”

Please note: within Kindercentrum, a minimum of four childcare days per week applies.
In exceptional cases, an exception can be made when parents wish to start earlier with a limited number of days. As soon as capacity allows, attendance will be increased to four days per week.
A minimum of four childcare days per week provides greater continuity and emotional stability for the child, supporting their well-being and development. It also strengthens group dynamics and allows caregivers to better respond to each child’s needs, while ensuring efficient planning and sustainable organization of the childcare service.

No. You must first submit an application via https://kindercentrum.be/nl/inschrijven/ or through Opvang.Vlaanderen.

The child planning team will review your request and send you an offer within a maximum of 3 weeks that best matches your preferences. Only after that can you make an appointment with the daycare team coach for a tour.

Respite days are considered as leave days for your child. If your child does not attend childcare on a given day, you can use a respite day. This day is regarded as a justified absence, so you don’t have to pay for that day.

The number of respite days is calculated based on your childcare plan during the current care year.

• For a full-time childcare plan, you are entitled to 18 respite days for a full calendar year (January 1 – December 31).

• You can track your used respite days through your monthly invoice.

(!) Important: If your child starts school in the first week of January, you might not have any respite days left for the new year.
Make sure to coordinate closely with your team coach to avoid any misunderstandings regarding billing for the last days at the daycare.

Daily rate based on income-related rate (IKT)

All our daycare centers at Kindercentrum fall under the IKT category. This means you can apply for a daily rate based on your income. To do this, you need a certificate from the “Opgroeien” agency.

You can calculate or simulate your rate in advance via mijn.kindengezin. Click on the button "Apply for or simulate income-related rate".

You may also be entitled to a reduced individual rate in case of unemployment, disability, bankruptcy benefits, being an underage teenage mother, etc. The Public Welfare Center (OCMW) can also offer support and more information.

You can read the full brochure from the 'Opgroeien agency'.

Yes, the schedule continues during school holidays.

Closing Days Kindercentrum vzw

You can find the closing days (annual holidays) of Kindercentrum vzw for 2025 and 2026 here.

The closing days for family daycare providers can be found on their individual pages. These may differ slightly from the general holidays of Kindercentrum vzw.

Voor de eerstvolgende beschikbare plaatsen in onze kinderdagverblijven regio Wingene en Waregem hebben wij momenteel een wachttijd van 16 tot 18 maanden. Wil je toch op de wachtlijst staan indien er annulaties of uitbreidingen zijn, vul dan zeker het formulier in via https://kindercentrum.be/nl/inschrijven/

Wanneer Kindercentrum een kinderdagverblijf overneemt, nemen wij het bestaande opvangplan over zoals het oorspronkelijk werd afgesproken met uw huidige opvang. Zo garanderen we continuïteit en betrouwbaarheid voor u en uw kind.

Omdat we kwalitatieve opvang willen blijven bieden, bekijken we elk opvangplan zorgvuldig. Alleen wanneer de gemaakte afspraken sterk afwijken van onze werking, gaan we eerst in overleg met de ouders. We zoeken dan samen — in co-creatie — naar een oplossing die haalbaar is voor iedereen en die past binnen onze pedagogische visie.

Onze dienst kindplanning neemt sowieso contact met u op om een nieuwe overeenkomst en ons huishoudelijk reglement te ondertekenen. Het opvangplan en de looptijd blijven hierbij identiek aan wat u eerder bent overeengekomen.

Het is mogelijk dat de startdatum van de overname niet perfect aansluit op de sluiting van het huidige kinderdagverblijf. In dat geval informeren wij u tijdig en transparant, zodat u steeds op onze betrouwbaarheid kunt rekenen.

Voor de effectieve start van de overname organiseren we altijd een uitgebreide infoavond. Tijdens deze gastvrije ontmoetingsmomenten laten we u kennismaken met onze werking, onze teams en onze waarden. Ouders krijgen er ruim de kans om vragen te stellen — want samen bouwen we aan een warme, zorgzame en groeigerichte omgeving voor elk kind.
