Welcome to Le Petit Poucet

Le Petit Poucet is a private pre-primary day care nursery school which was founded in 1983. We welcome children from 18 months to 5 years in a warm and secure environment focusing on their development. We have a dynamic team that will welcome children of various nationalities and expose them to French and English. We prepare your children with the basic skills of reading, writing and arithmetic which are a necessity for elementary education.
