Coordination of out-of-school childcare

Decree on the coordination of childcare for children aged between 2.5 and 12 years old during their free time and on support for out-of-school childcare

What is out-of-school childcare? How to organize children's free time when you are a working parent! If I'm held up at work who will look after my child when he is ill? What kind of socio-cultural or sports activities are there in my municipality? Is there childcare on Wednesday afternoons? I run childcare for children: for who and what are the ONE subsidies and what are the conditions? Did you know that your out-of-school childcare workers are now trained? What does the local childhood coordination programme do? You want to start up as a regular childcare provider, through a homework club for example, what is the process? Did you know that your disabled child can attend a specific activities week in the summer?

All these questions can be discussed within the local coordination service.

The Municipal Childcare Committee

The coordination structure includes a consultation body called the "Commission Communale de l'Accueil"(CCA - Municipal Childcare Committee). Representatives of the College of Aldermen, school management teams, childcare providers, parents and associations sit on it. Are you interested? Don't hesitate to contact the service.
