THE BEGINNING
Babilou Family was born to support the wellbeing of children and the work-life balance of families
Founded in France in 2003 by entrepreneurial brothers Rodolphe and Edouard Carle to bridge the gap in childcare solutions, Babilou Family has gradually grown to become a leading light in early years education and a major operator across the globe. We set out to support the well-being of children and the work-life balance of families at a time of rising birthrates and women in the workforce. Today, in our rapidly-changing, fragilized world, our role in society is all the more relevant: bring quality education to the next generation.
We began with one nursery and 24 seats. Five years later, we became the leading private childcare network in France. Today, we are present in 10 countries with around 1 260 centers, 14,000 employees and more than 100,000 children in our centers.
