The Preschool

(KG1 & KG2)

At our preschool, we provide a balanced approach to early education with instruction in both English and Arabic. Our
program is designed to support the development of the whole child—socially, emotionally, physically, and intellectually.
We place a strong emphasis on social skills, oral language development, motor coordination, critical thinking, and overall
