Who are we?
Behind the two Ohana nurseries are two women passionate about early childhood, both qualified childcare workers.
They first opened the Woluwe-Saint-Pierre daycare center with the desire to offer a caring, gentle, and quality welcome. A few years later, they opened a second daycare center in Wavre, with the same focus on children, relationships with families, and a caring education.
They are very present on the ground, always close to the children, the teams, and the parents. Their mission: to support the little ones with heart, simplicity, and respect.
Severine Buyle
Director
Having graduated from secondary school as a group leader, I had started studying to be a nursery teacher but I realized that contact with children was not what I was looking for. Passionate about early childhood, I then turned to the "Children's Home Director" training at INFAC. During these two years of training, I was a full-time intern in a children's home located in Woluwé-Saint-Lambert where I was able to discover and learn everything I needed to know about children's first years of community life.
My contract having ended, I worked for three years in another small structure in Kraainem increasing my experience in the management and organization of a childcare center. Young mother of a little boy, I wanted to evolve and then the opportunity arose to take over a childcare center with Maude, a long-time friend. Since then, since May 1, 2018, our private childcare center has opened its doors…
Maude Junior
Director
Following a career change, I started working in the early childhood field in 2016.
Passionate about early childhood, I trained at the same time at INFAC.
Following the handover of the childcare center where I worked, Séverine and I decided to resume the business. It was unthinkable for me to leave this place and the children I was able to see grow, develop, and flourish alongside me.
It was the beginning of a beautiful adventure…
Our 2 nurseries

Wavre Daycare Center
The Shana daycare center in Wavre welcomes children into a larger, bright space surrounded by greenery. Three qualified childcare workers care for the little ones in a gentle, joyful, and safe environment.
Children thrive in a suitable environment, conducive to discovery and play. Nature is very present in their daily lives, with regular outings and time spent outdoors.
Here too, each child is welcomed with care, in a relationship of trust with the families.
The team in Woluwe
In Woluwe, the team is made up of two qualified childcare workers. They form a close, attentive, and caring duo. Thanks to their small structure, they offer a family-like welcome, where each child is known, recognized, and gently supported.
They take the time to build a relationship of trust with parents, and ensure the well-being of each little one, respecting their pace and needs.

Alice
Section des bébés
Je m’appelle Alice, j’ai 30 ans.
Je suis puéricultrice depuis 8 ans.
Je suis d’un tempérament curieux, doux et un peu timide, mais aussi rigoureuse et à l’écoute.
Mon rôle, je le vois avant tout comme un accompagnement de l’enfant et de sa famille : assurer le bien-être physique, affectif et social des tout-petits, tout en guidant les parents avec bienveillance.
Mon objectif est de créer un environnement sécurisant et stimulant pour les enfants.
J’ai toujours aimé le monde de la petite enfance.
Les voir évoluer et grandir est pour moi un véritable plaisir.
Les accompagner dans leurs découvertes et les voir accomplir de nouveaux exploits est un bonheur quotidien.
Le travail en équipe est indispensable dans ce métier pour pouvoir évoluer et accompagner les enfants dans leur développement. J’apprécie particulièrement ces moments d’échanges, d’apprentissages partagés, de recherche de solutions… Se remettre en question est, selon moi, essentiel pour accompagner au mieux chaque enfant.
Pour moi, ce métier est une véritable vocation.
Je l’exerce avec passion, bienveillance et beaucoup d’amour, car le bien-être des enfants est pour moi primordial.
Easer
Section des moyens
Je m’appelle Easer, j’ai 22 ans et je suis éducatrice diplômée. Après avoir débuté mon parcours en psychologie, je me suis naturellement réorientée vers la petite enfance, un domaine qui correspond pleinement à mes valeurs et à mon envie de travailler au plus près des enfants.
J’ai rejoint l’équipe Ohana, où j’ai d’abord exercé au sein de la structure de Woluwe, avant d’intégrer celle de Wavre, dans laquelle je travaille actuellement. Ces expériences m’ont permis de développer mes compétences et de m’épanouir dans un environnement bienveillant et stimulant.
Douce, attentive et créative, j’aime proposer des activités qui stimulent la curiosité des enfants, favorisent leur autonomie et renforcent leur confiance en eux. J’accorde également une grande importance au travail en équipe, essentiel pour offrir un accompagnement de qualité aux enfants et à leurs familles, en cohérence avec les valeurs d’Ohana.
Ester
Section des grands
Puéricultrice
Âgée de 21 ans, je suis diplômée en tant qu’accueillante d’enfants et aspirante nursing. Passionnée par le monde de la petite enfance, j’ai eu l’occasion d’acquérir de l’expérience à travers plusieurs stages en crèche et en école maternelle, ainsi que grâce à de nombreux babysittings.
Depuis plus de 3 ans, je fais partie de l’équipe de la crèche Ohana, où j’ai à cœur de contribuer chaque jour au bien-être, à l’éveil et à l’épanouissement des tout-petits dans un environnement bienveillant et sécurisant.
