8S2B : Could you introduce yourself and explain your background?

Yen Thu : Nurse A State Graduate at AP-HP (Assistance Publique – Hôpitaux de Paris) in France, I worked 3 and a half years before arriving in Vietnam, 16 years ago. I opened the Boule & Billes crèche in Binh Thanh District 6 in November 2004, after the closure of Petit Ours crèche (Phu Nhuan) where I have made a replacement for the Director. 

Preschool and elementary classes were created in Boule & Billes, the day nursery became a school. I taught 3 years in preschool and I animated plastic art activities in extracurricular.

I managed the Phu My Hung site from 08/2009 to 06/2015. The Phu My Hung school was relocated to Thao Dien in September 2015. The 2 sites of Binh Thanh and Thao Dien have obtained AEFE approval for cycles 1 and 2.

Since the beginning of September 2018, i have started my own projectout of school. The idea has matured for several years but the decision was taken in late June 2018.

I am still the Managing Director of the school’s company.

8S2B : Where did you get the idea to start this new activity ?

Yen Thu : I missed the contact with children. I have been organizing school parties and events for almost 15 years. I like to organize birthdays for our own children, family or friends. Most of all, I like to receive friends and always welcome them.

8S2B : Which word best defines the state of mind of your company?

Yen Thu : Family.

Yen Thu : Satisfaction. 

Give kids and parents the desire to come back, celebrate their birthday here or other parties, or discover interesting workshops.

8S2B : Could you explain us the concept?

A relaxation area also for adults, catering possible on the spot.

Friendly place, conducive to family and friendly meetings. 

And a tailor-made service.

8S2B : What makes you different?

Yen Thu : First of all, a French environment. We organize tailor-made parties. We reach everyone : Children (babies, children, pre-teen and even teenagers) but also adults. All of this with outdoor games and pool side. As far as i know, nobody offers so many choices on the same site.

8S2B: How many people work with you currently?

Yen Thu : Actually, 7 peoples. 4 full-time and 3 part-time but we want to hire.
