Acepp 69

What Acepp 69 does

ACEPP 69 (Association des Collectifs Enfants Parents Professionnels du Rhône) is a French non-profit association (loi 1901) headquartered in Villeurbanne, founded in 2005 as the departmental federation of the national ACEPP parental movement for the Rhône department and the Métropole de Lyon. The organization federates approximately 40 parent associations and around 10 individual members that operate early childhood structures, including parent-run nurseries (crèches parentales), collective crèches, micro-crèches, Relais d'Assistant.e.s maternel.le.s (RAM/RPE), Lieux d'Accueil Enfants Parents (LAEP), ludothèques, and accueils de loisirs. Its mission centers on co-education, parental engagement, and quality early childhood provision, anchored by the Label Parental ACEPP certification framework.

The organization delivers four core service pillars. First, professional training (Formation) for early childhood practitioners, covering practice analysis, management of EAJE structures, parental support, and co-education, delivered both on-site at member premises and inter-établissement at the Villeurbanne headquarters, with Qualiopi certification enabling OPCO funding access. Second, associative management support (Accompagnement) covering HR, accounting, payroll, and administrative guidance via the AGA Web tool, alongside Universités Populaires de Parents research groups. Third, community animation through mobile outreach programs: BALLAD'OU (a converted camper van visiting underserved neighborhoods such as Lyon 8ème and Décines) and the LAEP Nomade Tricotiliens (a nomadic LAEP operating across multiple Lyon arrondissements). Fourth, parental project support, including guidance for associations pursuing the Label Parental ACEPP.

The business model is a hybrid of fee-for-service training revenue and institutional grant funding. Disclosed pricing includes 130 EUR/hour for member practice analysis, 145 EUR/hour for non-members, 450 EUR for a 6-session direction/management package for members, and 600 EUR for non-members; custom on-site training is priced on request. The organization is not subject to VAT. Revenue is complemented by institutional partnerships with CAF (national and local), Métropole de Lyon, Ville de Lyon, ARS Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, MSA Ain-Rhône, ANCT, DRDFE, and the cities of Villeurbanne, Saint-Priest, and Décines-Charpieu, as well as a foundational affiliation with ACEPP Nationale. There is no proprietary technology platform; service delivery is people-driven, field-based, and concentrated within the Rhône and Métropole de Lyon. In 2025, the organization reported training 606 trainees and volunteers across 76 establishments in 63 sessions with a 99.95% satisfaction rate.
