I would like to begin my introduction with a quote from Janusz Korczak: I have chosen to serve the child and their cause. It reflects the importance I place on the child’s role and my conviction that recognizing their skills, needs, and rights is essential to promote respect, joy, tolerance, and to help our society progress. Engaged with children since 2004, initially as an early childhood educator, I have been serving as a daycare center manager since 2013.

Your child explores the different play areas, settles in, and lets their imagination wander… The perfect moment to experience free play at its fullest.
Your child takes part in workshops, enjoys the garden, goes on outings, or winds down with stories and nursery rhymes.
A moment of pleasure, sharing, and relaxation. Afterwards, everyone gets ready for a little afternoon nap.
We respect your child's nap routine. A gentle wake-up, at their own pace, in a calm and soothing environment.
A group moment to share and recharge together.
New fun-filled activities and lovely moments in the garden.
Home time is just around the corner… quiet moments or free play before the end of the day.
A digital and professional tool to observe your child's development and better support them with targeted educational actions.
We offer parent spaces where you can take a break, connect with others, and access helpful resources to support you in your role as a parent.
We regularly offer workshops and talks on early childhood, led by experts in pedagogy, health, nutrition, and neuroscience.
We offer a secure app that lets you share in your child’s daily adventures.
The pop e poppa Vallon childcare centre, located in Chêne-Bougeries, offers a green and soothing environment. Its open spaces and themed areas create a warm place, designed as an extension of home, where children and parents feel welcomed and can develop with peace of mind.
Our pedagogy is based on three pillars: adapted spaces, attentive support, and secure attachment. By trusting children’s abilities, we foster curiosity, pleasure, and exploration. Each child grows in a climate of trust, rich in discoveries and experiences.

To get a place in one of the childcare facilities subsidised by the commune of Chêne-Bougeries, you need to register on the portal that gives access to the waiting list.
The Bureau de la petite enfance (BuPE) manages the allocation of places according to availability and the priority criteria set out in its centralised early childhood management regulations (see ‘Additional documents’ page). The management of the childcare facilities does not provide any information regarding the allocation of places. The BuPE remains at your disposal for any other questions relating to pre-school childcare in the municipality of Chêne-Bougeries.
Our daycare center is a place to feel comfortable, play, and learn. In bright, inviting rooms filled with natural light, children can explore their surroundings, develop their creativity, and experience a sense of community in a loving and safe atmosphere.
At pop e poppa, we believe that strong relationships with parents are the foundation of a child's wellbeing.
