Little Learners:

Inside a renowned French preschool

The school was created in 2006 by Christian and Dominique Chasset at the request of French parents in Hong Kong.

Les Petits Lascars is operated by the Hong Kong Kids Academy and offers preschool education for ages nine months to six years, either in French, in line with the French National Education system, or in bilingual (French/ English) or trilingual (French/English/Mandarin) options. The school also provides an international stream, with progression to the International Baccalaureate.
