Location details

Espira Daycare Center Le Garage

Espira Le Garage Daycare Center is a unique childcare facility in the Meilust-Zuid neighborhood of Bergen op Zoom. Our after-school care center is located at the same location, making it ideal for families with children of different ages.

Our daycare center is located close to schools, shops, and the Anton van Duinkerkenpark with its playground, as well as close to woods and heathland. We regularly go there to play, exercise, and discover nature. Being outdoors is part of our daily routine. We also organize fun activities such as children's yoga and creative workshops.

With a large outdoor play area, an art studio, and Suus the dog—who teaches children how to interact with animals—there is something to do every day. Babies receive loving care, toddlers discover the world, and preschoolers learn to do more and more on their own. In this way, we stimulate the development of every child through play.

“It's wonderful to see the children grow, laugh, and learn every day. Thanks to the warmth and cooperation of my colleagues, we create a place where children feel safe, secure, and at home.

Horizontal groups:

    Toddlers discover the world together here. With challenging activities, we prepare them for primary school in a playful way.
     
  4. The Cadets – toddler group (2-4 years, max. 16 children)
    An active group where toddlers learn to play together, share, and become independent. 


Vertical groups:

  1. De Limo's (ages 0-4, max. 16 children)
    Just like in a large family, younger and older children learn from each other here.

A day at the daycare centre

This is what a day at looks Espira ‘Le Garage’ like

Le Garage
Good morning & bring

Good morning! Just a quick hug for mom or dad and a chat. Then we'll start the day together. 

Le Garage
Day start in the circle

The group starts together in a circle. We go over what the day will bring, sing a song, or read a book—a cheerful start to the day. 

Le Garage
Fruit moment

Then your child eats fresh fruit at the table—a pleasant moment to laugh, talk, and enjoy each other's company. Some babies take a nap after this. 

Le Garage
Playing outside and exploring

In the morning, the children spend as much time as possible outside. They ride their bikes, build sandcastles, look for leaves, or discover all there is to see. Being outside is part of every day at Espira—with plenty of room for free play and their own discoveries.

Le Garage
Lunch

Around noon, the children eat a sandwich lunch and drink water or milk. It is a quiet and pleasant moment where they pay attention to each other. 

Le Garage
Rest period / sleep

After lunch, it's time to rest. Some children sleep, others listen to a story or look at a book. No obligations, just relaxation. 

Le Garage
Drink and healthy snack break (after rest)

When the children wake up, they eat fresh vegetable snacks and have something to drink together. This way, the afternoon starts quietly, with renewed energy. 

Le Garage
Afternoon activities

In the afternoon, there is time for a group activity—such as making music, building, or crafting—and for free play. Your child plays alone or with others, often outdoors. This way, play naturally turns into learning. 

Le Garage
Drink and healthy snack break (afternoon)

After all the playing and fun, we have a drink together and eat a healthy snack. 

Le Garage
Rest period and closing together

At the end of the afternoon, we take a break and sit down together at the table to enjoy a pleasant end to the day. After that, we can play freely for a while, either outside or inside, or quietly read a book together. 

Le Garage
Pick up

After a brief, warm handover, it's time to go home again—with a smile and a head full of stories. 

How children grow at Espira

Play, discover, and grow naturally

At Espira, children can be themselves in a safe and loving environment. We go outside every day—rain or shine—because nature is our second home, where children can discover the world with all their senses. We lay a solid foundation with healthy food, plenty of exercise, and sufficient rest. Our educational professionals see learning opportunities in everything and give children the confidence to fall, get up, and try again. This helps children grow up with self-confidence, a sense of responsibility, and a love for the world around them.
