Message from the President
It is with great pride that I welcome you to the new website of the Moroccan Foundation for Preschool Education (FMPS), a showcase of our unwavering commitment to serving early childhood education in Morocco.
Since its creation in 2008, FMPS has worked to guarantee equitable access to quality preschool education to every child aged four to six. A non-profit association recognized as a public utility, FMPS fulfills a public service mission on behalf of the Ministry of National Education, Preschool and Sports. FMPS has rolled out a pedagogical model of high standard in its classes throughout the national territory, including its most remote areas, a model accessible to children from all socioeconomic backgrounds.
Convinced that education is the foundation of human development and social progress, we place the child at the heart of our mission, and the educator at the center of our action.
Our ambition is clear: to enable every Moroccan child to fully realize their potential and to cultivate a new generation that is curious, confident, and ready to face the challenges of tomorrow.
Thanks to the dedication of our teams, the trust of our families, and the support of our institutional partners, FMPS currently manages 70% of free public preschools in Morocco across all regions of the Kingdom. The Foundation supervises a nationwide network of 24,382 classes that reaches more than 380,000 children in both urban and rural areas.
In practice, this means that we are :
– Committed to operational excellence built around three fundamental pillars: comprehensive training for our educators, rigorous monitoring and evaluation systems, and tailored pedagogical supervision ;
– Able to innovate and enrich the educational experience of children, driven by our research center, FabLab, and our Project Bank ;
– Dedicated to fostering local employment opportunities – especially for youth and women.: Among our 24,517 educators, 82% are women. By recruiting and training high school graduates close to their homes, FMPS offers the young people of Morocco a valuable path for personal and professional growth. This is especially important in rural and remote areas where investments in inclusive human capital development matter the most.
Our new website aims to strengthen transparency, communication, and collaboration with our partners, families, and all citizens.

Their work in the field embodies our ambition: to offer every child in Morocco a quality, equitable, and accessible preschool education.
