Instituto Soleil

What Instituto Soleil does

Instituto Soleil is a Brazilian non-profit Social Organization (Organização Social) headquartered in Barueri, São Paulo. Founded in 1987 as Instituto Social Nascer do Sol and rebranded under its current name in October 2017, the organization delivers public-sector services through Contratos de Gestão — government management contracts — with municipal governments across São Paulo state, including Barueri, Cajamar, Cotia, Mococa, Sorocaba, São Lourenço da Serra, Itapevi, Jundiaí, São Paulo, and Várzea Paulista.

Its operations span two primary verticals. In education, it runs full-day schools serving children aged 0–5 with a curriculum anchored on a myelination-focused nutrition program, and has added a CAEE (Centro de Atendimento Educacional Especializado) service line for children with special educational needs. In health, it manages up to 14 public health units including UPAs (Emergency Care Units), ESFs (Family Health Strategy units), NAIs, and municipal pharmacies; the Mococa contract alone delivered 575,703 health attendances in 2018 and the organization reported 350,000 total users served in that year.

Its business model is contract-based: revenue is generated by winning competitive bids from municipal governments to operate public schools and health units, with funding flowing through municipal health and education budgets. The organization maintains a multidisciplinary staff of approximately 61 employees spanning physicians, nurses, educators, analysts, and lawyers, with Dr. Salamon Bicarano serving as president. Underlying operational technology consists of school management systems and student registration systems for educational administration; no proprietary technology platform or AI/ML capability is disclosed.
