Word from the Head of School
Hello and welcome to EFI Al Jabr – Nursery. I am very happy to introduce myself to you as Director, and to welcome you to this beautiful adventure starting in September 2026. For more than 13 years, I have been supporting young children in the United Arab Emirates. This experience is at the heart of my commitment: it has allowed me to understand the needs of toddlers in an international environment, and to support families with confidence and care. My background has also led me to work in various international contexts, as well as to specialize in supporting children with special educational needs. For me, every child is unique and deserves to grow in an environment where they feel understood, respected, and valued. EFI Al Jabr – Nursery is a French nursery with a fully French-speaking environment. Within our nursery, French is the language of life, sharing, and learning. The team communicates primarily in French with the children, while being multilingual to facilitate exchanges with families. Children will have the opportunity to learn English and Arabic, in accordance with local requirements and our French-speaking framework.

Director
Our mission is to provide a warm, secure, and caring place where every child feels welcomed, listened to, and encouraged to develop at their own pace. We pay special attention to the quality of guidance, respect for individual differences, openness to others, as well as the development of self-confidence. Thanks to a qualified, attentive, and committed team, we create a serene, stimulating, and reassuring environment every day for children and their families alike. Because the first years of life are essential in a child's development, EFI Al Jabr – Nursery offers an educational project that combines high standards, benevolence, and fulfillment. We encourage independence, curiosity, creativity, and the joy of learning through experiences tailored to each stage of development. I will be delighted to support your child in this beautiful adventure and to build a relationship of trust with you based on listening, respect, and communication. I look forward to meeting you and yourchildren, and to building the first steps of their educational journey together. See you very soon, The Director of EFI Al Jabr – Nursery.
