We believe in the powerful developmental benefits of a bilingual education such as higher IQ, faster brain development, wider vocabulary, improved memory and better problem solving, and for this reason Le Petit Poucet offers high quality early education following the French Curriculum and the British National Curriculum (EYFS). Our bilingual programme gives parents the option for their child to be taught in French or English and gives the chance for children to be introduced to both languages.

At Le Petit Poucet, we see diversity in our students as our greatest asset. Qualified and native French and English speaking teachers are assisted by professional staff to challenge children and prepare them for primary schools at different entry levels (FS1, FS2, KG1, KG2, PS or MS) and different curriculums (International Baccalaureate, French, British Curriculum or American).

In our continuous pursuit to enhance children’s knowledge and interests, we have been promoting the French language and the French culture within our facility and beyond for several years.

Our programme, coupled with our fantastic facility and additional services have contributed to our success. Le Petit Poucet is now a highly regarded choice for high quality French and English early years education in Dubai.

  1. Environment is important

    We like to work and play in attractive surroundings so our buildings are clean, relatively tidy, and pleasing to the eye. The outdoor environments are large, have colourful and interesting gardens, and a variety of activities.

  • Le Petit Poucet is aiming to provide children between the ages of 3 months and 6 years with a high-quality French/English education and care from a top facility in the heart of Cairo catering for well-educated, multilingual, affluent families in prestigious neighborhoods.

  • With a strong bilingual curriculum in place and qualified native speaking practitioners, children will benefit from numerous and various opportunities to learn and develop new skills at their own pace in both languages.

  • We welcome children from all backgrounds in a unique setting and provide a seamless transition between preschool to primary school, ensuring children are supported at every step of their learning journey.

  • We aim to develop and strengthen the parallel bi-lingual early education concept in The Middle East following the leading steps of the Swiss and Canadian education sector of developing bilingual communities, schools and job market.

  • We aim to prepare and equip children of an early age with the solid academic base along with the essential personal, social and emotional skills needed to provide them with a highly functioning bright start.

In an increasingly evolving world and competitive global job market, bilingual education can benefit children for the rest of their lives. Being bilingual has a profound effect on the brain and can open up a broad variety of academic, economic and societal opportunities leading into adulthood. Bilingual education has been proven to “supercharge” children’s learning and even change the structure of their brain. our future
