Les Marionnettes is an association providing early childhood care through a network of more than 20 crèches and micro-crèches in Réunion and Mayotte. Founded in Réunion over 30 years ago, it welcomes infants and young children in secure, inclusive settings designed to respect each child’s individual pace and encourage curiosity and independence. Its educational approach is multilingual, artistic and environmentally minded, combining creative play, sensory discovery, shared daily life and contact with nature.

The association’s facilities serve families in locations including Saint-Denis, Saint-Paul, Sainte-Marie and Le Port in Réunion, as well as Mamoudzou, Mtsamboro and Pamandzi in Mayotte. Families can submit an online enrolment request, indicate preferred locations and attendance days, and access a family area. The association also explains admission, gradual settling-in and income-based fees, and offers Wednesday and school-holiday care for children up to age six, subject to availability.

With more than 180 employees and over 1,500 children welcomed, Les Marionnettes also recruits childcare and support professionals across both territories
