If you're an American living in the United Arab Emirates, there's a good chance you'll be attending a Dibber school in the near future.
The Norwegian preschool chainwhich has more than 600 locations around the world, per its websitehas opened its first school in the Middle East, in Abu Dhabi, the New York Daily News reports.
It's the first Dibber school in the Middle East, but it's not the first to open in the region.
There are currently five Dibber schools in the United Arab Emirates, one in Abu Dhabi, and the company says it plans to open more in the next few years.
"The UAE leads the way in implementing many of Dibber's unique concepts," the company says, including the Dibber Meal, which "fosters togetherness, cultivates dining etiquettes, and encourages local citizens to sourcing food."
