Jinane and Sophanie, the two moms who founded Luciole, walking in Jounieh: Our dream is coming true

Our Story

Created by two moms, for every family

Luciole began with a question every parent knows: where do I leave my kids today? Between work, shopping, a doctor's appointment or a rare evening out with their husbands, Jinane and Sophanie kept running into the same problem. There was nowhere they trusted to leave their children for a few hours.

So they built it. Luciole is a safe space in Jounieh Souks where children spend good time, make things with their hands and learn new skills, while parents take the time they need, knowing their kids are in caring hands.
