Core offering

Crèches Kokoon operates a network of 17 micro-crèches across the Pays Basque, Landes, and Gironde regions of France. Each micro-crèche accommodates up to 12 children under the supervision of 4 qualified early childhood professionals, offering regular, occasional, and emergency childcare services. The network differentiates itself through small group sizes, an ecological operating approach (reusable diapers, eco-certified care products, local organic meals), and extended opening hours (typically 7h-20h).
