A value proposition built on children's needs and parents' main concerns Our strategic pillars drive all our teams across the group
Safety & compliance
#Safety first
Safety is at the heart of everything we do. Through EngagED, we are building a strong safety culture across all countries. By 2028, every center will proudly carry best-in-class local certifications, ensuring the highest standards for children and families
#Nature
We believe nature is essential for growth and well-being. By 2026, every school will feature natural spaces that inspire curiosity and play. And by 2028, we commit to taking children outdoors every single day, because learning happens everywhere.
#No plan[et] B
Our planet matters. That’s why we’ve introduced a no-regression principle, making sure every decision respects safety, compliance, and ESG values. By 2026, all countries will implement a responsible purchasing plan and training, reducing our impact and shaping a sustainable future.
Employee commitment & satisfaction
#Train to retain
We support people because they make the difference. By 2026, all center teams will receive training beyond regulatory standards to support certifications and diplomas. By 2028, our 14,000 employees will complete 10 hours of training focused on the key challenges of early childhood education
#Promote to grow
Growth starts from within. By 2028, 65% of our managers will come from internal promotion across all countries. This year, every country will have a dedicated leadership program to accelerate career development and open new opportunities.
#Empower
Empowerment drives progress. In 2026, all countries will implement a shadow Comex with school managers to give them a voice in strategic decisions. By 2028, we commit to having 50% of management roles held by women, building a more inclusive future.
Education Excellence
#Best opportunity for children's development and ability to learn
We create environments where children thrive. In all our schools, we ensure freedom of movement to build self-confidence and independence. Across 10 countries, we also prioritize healthy sleep routines, because rest is essential for learning and growth.
#Stand by our parents’ side
Partnership with parents is key. By the end of 2026, every family will benefit from a three-step onboarding journey before joining a school. Parents will also be invited to two observation sessions per year, sharing insights with professionals through standardized feedback on their child’s development.
#Language
Language opens doors. By the end of 2026, all children will experience multilingual learning opportunities, nurturing curiosity and cultural awareness from an early age.
#Education science
Science shapes our future. In 2025, we launched the Scientific Education Committee, bringing together five leading experts in neuroscience and psychology to challenge and enrich our practices and curriculum.
Positive impact & growth
#Boost birth
Supporting families means supporting the future. Babilou Family is committed to opening 145 to 230 new schools by 2028, providing more childcare solutions to help boost birth rates. Our Foundation dedicates one-third of its budget to research on how childcare can positively impact birth rates in developed countries.
#Satisfaction
Listening is the key to improvement. Starting April 2025, Babilou Family will be the only early childhood operator to roll out a monthly transparent NPS survey, ensuring we continuously measure and enhance family satisfaction.
#Open governance
We believe in shared decisions. This year, every school has a parent committee to contribute to its strategy. At the same time, a shadow Comex of 10 school managers reviews decisions impacting operations, bringing frontline expertise to the table.
#Babilou Family Foundation
Our Foundation is a force for good. This year, it will actively support children’s health and fund pedagogical innovation, driving progress for the next generation.
