Childcare in Guadeloupe: three local reference points

Check before making arrangements

These reference points were checked on 23 August 2026. Consult the linked official pages before making any arrangements: they remain the reference for dates and safety instructions. Ma Tatie presents this information without replacing the competent authorities.

Use the calendar specific to Guadeloupe

Service Public distinguishes between the calendars for mainland France and overseas territories. For 2026-2027, Guadeloupe has its own school start and holiday dates. Therefore, consult the Guadeloupe entry in the official calendar, rather than zones A, B or C.

Identify the hurricane season

The prefecture states that Guadeloupe is exposed every year to the risk of hurricanes from June to November. Its page brings together weather alerts and safety instructions to consult when needed.

Prepare what you need for a few days

The prefecture reminds us that an emergency situation can disrupt water, electricity and telephone networks. It recommends preparing a kit in advance kept in an easily accessible place, so that you can live independently for a few days.

Find the reference point you need

For the exact dates, consult the guide to the school calendar in Guadeloupe. For preparations related to hurricane season, consult the guide to alerts and the emergency kit.
