Years
of Care
A daycare built on
a quiet conviction.
We opened Cuddles five years ago with a simple belief: that the first years of a child’s life are too important to be spent in an ordinary daycare.
Tucked into a calm residential street in Zarif, we built a space that feels less like an institution and more like a second home — where every corner is designed to spark curiosity, encourage independence, and nurture the whole child.
Our team is academically qualified, fairly paid, and deeply committed. Low turnover means your child builds real, lasting bonds with the same warm faces, day after day.
“I feel that I am keeping my baby with a sibling or someone we know well — and this is what I love the most.”
— M.S., parent of a 2.5-year-old at Cuddles
Not one methodology.
The best of three.
Most daycares follow one approach. We studied them all — and built something better. A hybrid curriculum designed specifically for Lebanese children, led by academically qualified educators.
Your child chooses their activities and learns at their own pace. Self-directed exploration builds confidence, autonomy, and a lifelong love of learning.
The environment itself is the teacher. Project-based exploration treats every child as naturally capable — because they are.
Art, music, storytelling, and movement woven into every day. Imagination and rhythm build the emotional foundations children need to thrive.
Six Developmental Domains
What makes us different
is not a talking point.
It’s a set of decisions we made — and refuse to compromise on.
In Lebanon’s crisis, many daycares cut staff pay. We didn’t. Fair salaries mean stable, committed educators — the same warm faces welcoming your child every single morning. A teacher who isn’t worried about money is fully present for your child.
Stability you can feel
Our maximum capacity is 30 — and we deliberately keep it there. Some daycares take 80+ children. We believe that number is too large for any child to receive genuine individual attention. At Cuddles, your child is always known by name, by nature, and by heart.
Intimate, not industrial
Our curriculum director holds formal academic qualifications in early childhood education — not just experience, but credentials. The result is a program built with genuine rigour: six developmental domains, three blended methodologies, and a Lebanese-rooted perspective.
Expertise, not improvisation
Language immersion works best when woven into daily life — songs, stories, play, instructions — not as a separate subject. Arabic is our foundation; English is integrated throughout. Both are spoken authentically by educators who genuinely love both languages.
Bilingual from day one
What our families say.
“I feel that I am keeping my baby with a sibling or someone we know well and this is what I love the most about you!”
“I really value the hands-on activities; they’re excellent for developing motor skills and keeping the kids engaged. I appreciate the care and dedication the staff show.”

In the calm heart
of Beirut.
A note on our street: We’re tucked into a calm residential road — quiet, tree-lined, and free from school-hour gridlock. Drop-off takes under two minutes. Most parents tell us after the first week they stop noticing the street entirely and only notice how peaceful the mornings feel.
