The map

A map that knows where you stand

No more spreadsheet next to monenfant.fr and sticky notes on the fridge. Everything is in one place, and everything shows

  • Clusters that talk

    Each cluster of dots is a tiny pie chart of your statuses: one glance tells which neighbourhoods are done and which are left

  • One card per facility

    Address, phone, email, website, operator, FINESS number… and your own notes, saved with the date of the last status change

  • Instant filters

    By status, kind of care, department or name, accents and capitals optional: the map redraws as you type

  • Keyboard, phone, late evening

    Everything works from the keyboard, the card turns into a drawer on mobile, and the night theme takes over when the light goes down

The tracker

From the first call to the yes, square by square

Like a board game, every facility moves forward square by square. One click on the card and its colour changes on the map and in the clusters; each square has its own symbol, never colour alone

  1. To contact

    Every facility starts here, in soft lilac

  2. Contacted

    Application sent, call made, résumé dropped off

  3. Interview

    A meeting is booked: the card keeps the date

  4. Accepted

    The yes. The green square, the one you wait for

    Declined

    A no, filed away so you never call twice

The data

Public data, cross-checked and geocoded

The facilities come from two official directories, then every address is placed on the map with France’s national address base

  1. monenfant.fr

    French national family allowance fund (CNAF)

    Daycares, holiday centres, early-childhood relays and parent-child spaces

  2. FINESS

    French Ministry of Health, on data.gouv.fr

    Mother and child health centres, children’s homes, mother centres and hospitals

  3. Base Adresse Nationale

    adresse.data.gouv.fr

    Geocoding: a latitude and a longitude for every address

  4. OpenStreetMap

    OpenStreetMap contributors

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is Daycare?

An interactive map of the early-childhood facilities of Provence (daycares, holiday centres, early-childhood relays, parent-child spaces, mother and child health centres, children’s homes) paired with a tracking notebook. For each facility: a status, notes and every useful contact detail. It was born from a job search in early childhood, to replace the spreadsheet

Which areas does the map cover?

1,908 facilities in Bouches-du-Rhône, Var, Vaucluse and Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, mostly within 30 km of Marseille, Aix-en-Provence, Salon-de-Provence, Vitrolles, Trets, Pertuis and Manosque

Where does the data come from?

From public sources: the monenfant.fr directory of the French national family allowance fund, and the FINESS register of the Ministry of Health. Addresses are geocoded with the Base Adresse Nationale. They can be incomplete or a little dated: a number that no longer answers goes into the card’s notes

What kinds of facilities are there?

642 daycares (EAJE), 1,002 holiday centres, 42 early-childhood relays, 55 parent-child spaces, 78 children’s homes, 63 hospital services, 12 mother and child health centres, plus mother centres and children’s villages

Can I use Daycare?

Yes, on request: the map is a private space, invitation-only. Ask for access with your name and e-mail address; if the request is approved, you receive your sign-in details by e-mail, and every account has its own notebook. The demo mode lets you try everything on invented facilities, with no account: your tries stay saved in your browser. The source code is public on GitHub, with everything needed to deploy an instance with Docker Compose

Can anyone else see the statuses and notes?

No. They are stored on the application’s server and only show once signed in. The site sets no tracking cookies and runs no analytics

Does it work with a keyboard and on a phone?

Yes. Every action works from the keyboard, the results list reaches every facility without the map, the card becomes a drawer on mobile and each status has a symbol on top of its colour
