The Wishing Tree

A child’s first five years are the most critical for cognitive, emotional, and social development, shaping their future learning and well-being.

During this time, every interaction and experience shapes their future. At The Wishing Tree, we are passionate about Early Learning and committed to providing an enriching environment where children thrive.

We are two passionate working mums and Early Childhood Education specialists based in Saudi Arabia, with over 20 years of experience in the field.

United by a shared vision to transform early learning in the Kingdom, we’ve partnered with a forward-thinking Saudi company to redefine the early years experience for families across the country.

Having raised our own children in the Middle East, we understand the unique needs, values, and aspirations of families here.

Our mission is to bring world-class Early Childhood Education to Saudi Arabia—nurturing confident, curious, and globally minded learners.

The Wishing Tree’s early learning program is grounded in the understanding that children are natural learners, each developing at their own unique pace.

We recognize that the most effective learning occurs when children feel safe and comfortable in their environment, fostering connections with their teachers, educators, and peers. That’s why we invest time in truly getting to know each child, taking a personalised approach to their learning journey.

Research shows that every year a child spends in a high-quality early learning program like ours leads to better outcomes in school and beyond.

At every stage of their learning journey, we collaborate closely with you to gain deeper insights into your child. This partnership allows us to tailor our program to build on their interests and abilities while introducing essential early concepts and skills, including language and literacy, math, STEM, and more.

Our Vision

To provide excellence in Early Childhood Education in Saudi Arabia, setting new benchmarks for industry best practices.

As a progressive and innovative learning provider, we aim to operate as an extension of the local community, delivering a high-quality curriculum that allows every child to discover their uniqueness and reach their full potential.

Our Mission

The Wishing Tree is dedicated to the families we serve and the communities where our centers operate. As a leading provider of Early Childhood Education in Saudi Arabia, we are committed to delivering the highest quality childcare and learning opportunities for children aged 6 weeks to 5 years.

Our centers provide a multicultural, safe, and nurturing environment, ensuring every child thrives during their early years.

Our Commitment to Wellbeing, Safety & Communication

At The Wishing Tree, we utilise a safe and secure educational communication platform designed to make it easy and enjoyable for our Educators to capture and document your child’s developmental milestones. This platform allows them to share these special moments with you in real time, including photos and videos, ensuring you stay connected to your child’s journey.

Available in multiple languages, this platform not only enables families to keep track of their child’s daily activities but also fosters open communication with their Educators. You can easily share updates, ask questions, and engage with our team, creating a collaborative and supportive environment for your child’s growth and learning.

We believe that this seamless connection enhances your child’s experience and strengthens the partnership between home and our learning community.

We are deeply committed to making child safety our top priority, believing that all children should be safe, happy, and empowered. We support and respect all children, team members, and volunteers, always prioritizing the safety, participation, and empowerment of every child.

We recognise that children and young people thrive in environments where they feel safe, connected, and supported within their families, communities, and cultures.
