Lea Inzani
Hello, I’m Lea Inzani
Founder of Miles Of Smiles nursery and preschool
As a mother of three and a passionate advocate for early childhood education, my journey began with the birth of my first son — inspiring me to open my very first nursery and preschool. With over five years of hands-on management experience across France and Switzerland, I have cultivated a warm, child-centered approach that supports children and their families every step of the way.
Living in the United Arab Emirates has deepened my appreciation for cultural and linguistic diversity. That’s why at Miles Of Smiles, we embrace Arabic alongside English and French, creating a truly international environment that prepares children for a bright future. Academically, I hold a Master of Science in International Business from Kedge Business School in Bordeaux, France, a Bachelor’s in International Management from the University of California, Irvine, as well as a CACHE Level 5 Diploma in Early Childhood Leadership and Management from Hi-Fliers Institute in Dubai.
In 2022, I became the first French woman to open a nursery and preschool in the UAE, and in 2024, I was the first to create and obtain official government approval for my franchise system — making Miles Of Smiles the one and only nursery and preschool
brand in the country with this recognition.
My commitment to innovation and excellence has been acknowledged through numerous awards and certificates, especially for our pioneering approach to early years education. Our revolutionary franchise model has enabled rapid and flexible growth, allowing us to
meet parents’ evolving needs. Our success even led KHDA to establish a dedicated office
to regulate educational franchises — a clear recognition of our influence on the sector.
Today, Miles Of Smiles is widely recognized as a trailblazer and key player in the UAE’s
education industry. Throughout 2024–2025, we have achieved the most significant growth in this field, demonstrating our ability to anticipate trends, continuously innovate, and
embrace new challenges.
Above all, my passion remains to offer safe, caring, and future-focused spaces where
children can thrive, grow, and discover the joy of learning. Miles Of Smiles embodies this vision — and I’m thrilled to welcome you into our family.
I hold a double Master of Sciences in international business from Kedge Business School in Bordeaux, France, a Bachelor's degree in International Management from the University of Irvine in California as well as a diploma in early childhood management (CACHE level 5) from the Hi fliers Institute in Dubai.
