Overview
Les Petits Chaperons Rouges is a French group in the private crèche sector. Its official website states it operates 3,800 crèches with 70,000 places across France, offering regular or occasional childcare. The group describes itself as a pioneer in early-childhood care and education and as the reference player in France's private crèche sector. Its founder is Jean Emmanuel Rodocanachi, and in 2025 the group became an official 'Société à Mission'.
History
According to the group's official 'About' page, more than 20 years ago, to address insufficient public provision for the care of children aged 0-3 in France, public authorities decided to call on the private sector. Jean Emmanuel Rodocanachi, the founder, then decided to mobilize to give as many families as possible access to daycare. The group states that in 2025 it officially became a 'Société à Mission', a status enabled by the 2019 Pacte law, allowing it to enshrine its purpose in its statutes and pursue social and environmental commitments over time, with measurable, public and monitored objectives such as parent and employee satisfaction, crèche certification, and carbon emission reduction, overseen by an independent mission committee.
