CESK Pre-School

CESK is the longest established Pre-school in Qatar, enjoying over 20 years of continued service with the same British management. From September 2013 we will be accepting children from birth up to 3 years of age. We are open Sunday thru Thursday from 7:00am - 2:00pm and from September 2013 extended hours of 2:00pm - 3:00pm will be available upon request and at an extra charge. There is an initial registration fee of QR 1,500 and then fees are termly. At CESK, we follow the British Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) to ensure your child receives the best possible start to their learning in a stimulating and encouraging setting.

Each of these areas has a set of stepping stones that progress towards early learning goals, for which each Class Leader plans activities to help meet the diverse needs of each child, so that they are well prepared for when they start school. Learning is encouraged through play and includes activities to involve each area. Our staff are recruited for their commitment to, enthusiasm and caring for and educating young children, whilst providing a service, which is second to none. We have trained nurses on site and key staff members are also first aid trained. We have a dedicated Physical Education (PE), Music and IT teacher.
