Daycare gathers 1,908 early-childhood facilities of Bouches-du-Rhône, Var, Vaucluse and Alpes-de-Haute-Provence. Spot them, call them, and follow every application all the way to the yes
No account, on invented facilities
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
To contact
Every facility starts here, in soft lilac
Contacted
Application sent, call made, résumé dropped off
Interview
A meeting is booked: the card keeps the date
Accepted
The yes. The green square, the one you wait for
Declined
A no, filed away so you never call twice

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
