A professional integration nursery (AVIP) should see the light of day at the start of the 2025 school year, in Cayenne. This project by the professional sport and popular education association, APROSEP, and the La Grenouillère association will be installed at L'accordeur, this business incubator located in the city center. The capacity will be 30 children.
This November 12, the first stone of the future AVIP Roland Barrat crèche – that will be its name – was laid. The chosen location is L’accordeur, a third place in downtown Cayenne.
30 organizations are grouped together in this building can be described as a business incubator. This is one of the reasons why the project was born.
Jean-David Poquet, general director of the APROSEP Solidarity Economy Group (organization that owns L'accordeur) explains it: “as a continuation of the L'accordeur project, we have long wanted to integrate a company crèche… initially, to allow social diversity, and strengthen the quality of work of employees in the social and solidarity economy.“
And to add:
Then we wanted to give it a social connotation: a crèche with a vocation for professional integration, since at the level of the Solidarity Economic Group (GES), all of the structures that make it up are very focused on the notion of professional integration and to promote pathways to help young people find qualifications and employment.
This project is based on an observation, he says. First, there are few company crèches in the region. “And we know it: early pregnancies and single mothers are one of the obstacles to accessing jobs.“, says Jean-David Poquet.
The nursery should open next September, it should welcome around thirty children every day. Around 20% of places will be allocated to children of young job seekers.
“And then there will be a mix. It could be open… Right here in downtown Cayenne there is a big lack and then, for people who work in sport, in the public, in associations. We obviously want to prioritize all of L'accordeur's employees.“, specifies the general director of APROSEP.
The Avip label is awarded to young child care establishments (ECEC) which reserve at least 20% of their places for parents looking for work. “Parents benefit from a reception place for their child during their job search for a period of one year“, as CAF explains.
Parents sign a six-month contract, renewable once, with the AVIP crèche and France Travail. The reception is a minimum of 10 hours per week. At the same time, they are supported in their job search by France Travail advisors as part of overall support.
When the beneficiary parent finds a job or training, the Avip crèche provides a place for the child until they enter nursery school.
