Parent’s Testimonials
Annabelle

My son really enjoys going to Le Petit Poucet every morning and he always talks about what he did with his little friends at the end of each day. I can tell that he loves it there! Marie-Anne and her team are very welcoming and that makes my little boy feel safe and happy.

Elizabeth

My eldest son went to Le Petit Poucet and still remembers Marie-Anne and her team. Now my two year old son is there and is very happy. I can see the improvement in his motor skills, counting and vocabulary. He loves the environment where the school is located.
