€3m investment in new child-care facilities in Brussels
The Flemish Community Commission (VGC) in Brussels is creating extra child-care facilities, with two new crèches – one in Ixelles and one in Saint-Josse – as well as the extension of an existing facility in Schaerbeek. The total investment package comes to €3 million, according to Bianca Debaets, the capital’s secretary of state for family matters.
The day-care centre in Ixelles will be in Rue Kerckx, where €2.4 million will be spent on a new facility to be ready in three years. In Saint-Josse, a house will be converted by the end of this year.
The extension to the Elmer-Noord crèche near North Station in Schaerbeek will take over an adjoining building and be available by mid-2019.
The number of places made available by the latest investment is not yet certain, Debaets said. “That will only be clear once the new buildings are finished and Kind & Gezin have licensed the new crèches,” she said.

It's very important that the government a lot a specific budget for child care facilities that parents can work side by side in raising their children. Just like the useful program I've read from SameDayPapers.com review, which tackles child welfare.
