The Municipality of Brétigny-sur-Orge is currently testing the 'Crèche À La Demande' (CALD) system at the La Fontaine daycare center, aiming to optimize the use of available spots and provide more flexibility for families.

The principle of this experiment is straightforward: when a child enrolled in the facility is absent, the guardian notifies it via a mobile application. Previously registered families are then automatically informed of available slots corresponding to their needs and can directly book their time slot. This system aims to better utilize existing reception capacities and offer a punctual solution for parents without regular childcare.
At the end of this testing phase, an assessment will be conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of this tool and determine its potential extension to other early childhood care facilities in the Commune.
