Ecole des Parents et des Educateurs du Gard

What Ecole des Parents et des Educateurs du Gard does

Ecole des Parents et des Educateurs du Gard (EPE30) is a non-profit association (Loi 1901) founded in 1958, headquartered at 42 Boulevard Sergent Triaire in Nîmes, France. The organization delivers a coordinated portfolio of family, youth, and professional services across the Gard department, including Lieux d'Accueil Enfants-Parents (LAEP), Co-Naissance (expectant parent support), Points Écoute Parents-Enfants, Cafés des Parents, EVARS school-based affective/sexual education, the TREMPLIN school dropout program at Vauvert, parental support at the Maison d'arrêt de Nîmes, and the Allo Parents en Crise hotline (N°Vert 0 805 382 300). Professional services comprise the Pôle Formation training arm, Analyses de la Pratique Professionnelle (APP), Ateliers de Soutien des Pratiques Professionnelles (At'SPP), and Journées Pédagogiques.

The customer base spans three primary segments: parents and families, young people/adolescents, and professionals from childcare, education, and social sectors, served in-person at multiple Nîmes facilities (Maison des Mistons, Centre Social Simone Veil, Agora de Vinci & Carré d'Art) and partner sites across Gard including Vauvert, Saint-Gilles, Beaucaire, Bagnols-sur-Cèze, Alès, Le Vigan, and Uzès. The technical infrastructure is minimal: a Wix-hosted website (www.epe30.fr) for information dissemination and contact, supplemented by LinkedIn, Instagram, and Facebook presences, with no disclosed app, API, or proprietary platform.

The revenue model is consistent with a French non-profit association: recurring membership fees (ADHÉRER), fees from professional training programs (Pôle Formation, APP, At'SPP, Journées Pédagogiques) likely funded through professional development budgets or public subsidies, and implicit public-sector support for family-policy services. End-user services appear free or low-cost, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Operations are supported by approximately 12 employees and rely on established institutional partnerships (social centers, schools, judicial facilities) rather than commercial channels.

Expansion highlights5 records

Regional players

• CAF du Gard (Caisse d'Allocations Familiales): Public family benefits agency operating in Gard, financing many family-support structures including parental support associations. Comparable as a Gard-based family-services actor and likely a key funding/partner counterparty for EPE30.
• CIDFF du Gard (Centre d'Information sur les Droits des Femmes et des Familles): Regional family-focused organization operating in the same Gard department, providing family information, rights support, and parental guidance services. Comparable in target audience (families, women) and nonprofit social-services model.
• UDAF du Gard (Union Départementale des Associations Familiales): Departmental federation of family associations in Gard, representing family interests and providing support services. Directly comparable in geographic scope (Gard department), nonprofit status, and family-support mission.

Others

• REAAP (Réseau d'Écoute, d'Appui et d'Accompagnement des Parents): National network of parental support groups and structures funded by French family policy funds. EPE30 likely participates in or benefits from REAAP funding; the network is comparable in mission scope around parental support and family policy.

Direct peers

• Ecole des Parents et des Educateurs de l'Hérault (EPE 34): Sister departmental EPE association serving the neighboring Hérault department with the same Loi 1901 nonprofit structure, parenting-support mission, and service portfolio (LAEP, training, listening points). It is the closest functional peer to EPE30.

Broad incumbents

• Enfance & Partage: National nonprofit focused on child protection, parental support, and family well-being in France. Comparable as a broader family-support operator with overlapping services around parental guidance, listening, and youth support.
• Association Française des Centres de Consultations Conjugales (AFCCC): National federation of conjugal and family counseling centers in France. Comparable in providing family listening and counseling services via a network of nonprofit centers, similar to EPE30's Points Écoute and family support services.
• Fédération Nationale des Écoles des Parents et des Éducateurs (FNEPE): FNEPE is the national federation that brings together the network of departmental EPE associations in France. It is directly comparable as the umbrella organization for entities like EPE30, sharing the same parenting-support mission and service model.
