Babilou Family is a French-headquartered early childhood education group operating nurseries, daycare centers, preschools and after-school programs. Founded in 2003 by brothers Rodolphe and Edouard Carle with a single 24-place nursery in Boulogne-Billancourt, it has grown into one of the world's largest early-years education networks, present in 10 countries with around 1,260 centers, roughly 14,000 employees and more than 100,000 children in its care. The group sells nursery places both directly to families and to employers and public bodies that reserve places for their staff. Since 2022 it has been a French mission-driven company (entreprise a mission).
