Develop your own company creche or participate in the creation of a creche

 

The ARCE brings knowledge and skills based on experience in the sector of early childhood to the company and the municipality.

Providing creche facilities for employees' children is an ambitious goal that requires an initial in-depth study. 

Early childhood care is a much regulated field and in this context ARCE provides knowledge and skills based on experience. It is also a platform for discussion to promote models of partnerships to communes.

In addition to being an intermediary between the Swiss authorities and the company, ARCE also sets up a network for the company's day-care facilities (à ce jour 101 places entre GE et VD).

By joining ARCE, the company is assured to receive a high-quality support to facilitate the creation and also the coordination of creches.
