During the inauguration, the director, Olivier Vanbrabant, and his wife recounted the long and challenging journey to realize this project. They also expressed gratitude to the staff of the first crèche in Beyne-Heusay and the new facility for their daily work.

Among the officials present were Nathalie Dubois, Echevin (Alderman) for Early Childhood; Anne-Marie Libon, Echevin for Economic Affairs and President of the ADL; Walther Herben, First Echevin in charge of Public Works; and Yves Parthoens, Echevin for Social Affairs.
