We are young parents who have been blessed to follow our dream. Our dream is for children to be happier, more creative, more imaginative, more informed, inspired, aware, balanced and amazed. We aim to see joy on the faces of children.
ORGANIZATIONAL DESCRIPTION

Building on this foundation, we are now bringing Hoppi - a new play destination for families - coming soon to a new mall in Abu Dhabi.
