Message from the Principal
Hello and welcome to Al Jabr EFI - Early Childhood Centre
I am very pleased to introduce myself as the Early Years Director and to welcome you to this wonderful journey that will begin in September 2026.
For over 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
young children in an international environment, and to support families with trust and care. My
career has also led me to work in various international settings, 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.
Al Jabr EFI Early Child Care is a French nursery with a fully French-speaking environment.
Within our nursery, French is the language of daily life, sharing, and learning. The team
primarily communicates in French with the children, while also being multilingual to facilitate
communication with families. Children will also have the opportunity to learn English and Arabic,
in line with local requirements and our French-speaking framework.
Our mission is to provide a warm, safe, and caring environment where each child feels
welcomed, heard, and encouraged to develop at their own pace. We place particular emphasis
on the quality of care, respect for each individual, openness to others, and the development of
self-confidence.

Thanks to a qualified, attentive, and committed team, we create every day a calm, stimulating, and reassuring environment for both children and their families. Because the early years of life are essential in a child’s development, Al Jabr EFI Early Childhood Centre offers an educational project that combines high standards, kindness, and personal growth. We encourage autonomy, curiosity, creativity, and the joy of learning through experiences tailored to each stage of development. I will be delighted to accompany your child on this beautiful journey and to build with you a relationship of trust based on listening, respect, and communication. I very much look forward to meeting you and your children, and to building together the first steps of their educational path. See you very soon,
Sarah ÉPÉE – AL JABR EFI Early Child Care Director
