Al Shorooq International Preschool

Al Shorooq Kids Preschool Bahrain is the idea of a working mom who was looking for the best nurturing environment for her preschooler son. After hard research of the top International Preschool Programs, she has decided that Montessori philosophy is the best, the Montessori approach is based on Dr. Montessori’s scientific observations of young children's behavior. Her first "Children's House" was established in Rome in 1907. She found children learned best in a homelike environment filled with developmentally appropriate materials that provide experiences, which contribute to the growth of self-motivated, independent learners.

Al Shorooq Preschool Kindergarten Bahrain is incorporating the philosophy of the revolutionary early childhood educator Dr. Maria Montessori bilingually, combined with strong instilling of morals, to encourage our children’s natural love of learning; for now and for the future.

Al Shorooq Preschool follows the innovative Montessori approach, which has been proven internationally and now is applied in our preschool in both English and Arabic.

At Al Shorooq Preschool, we always attempt to encourage leadership and originality at this early age because we believe that we are planting the seed that will continue to bloom and bear fruits for years till adulthood, guiding children through project-based hands-on lessons and thus create an independent, confident and self-reliant personalities.

The environment surrounding children in the preschool gives them the freedom to choose their preferred practical activity using tools and materials that are fun and specially designed to develop skills that suit their unique interests and abilities and it's individualized and self-paced without complying with peers which enhances confidence and ignites their curiosity while eliminating pressure or frustration resulted from peer comparison.

There are three terms, the first starts from the second week of September till 15 of December, the second from 2nd of January till the end of March, the third one starts after a week of holiday and lasts till the end of June.

Al Shorooq Preschool we don’t compare children to each other OR to some manufactured standard. Your child works at their own pace. Hence, we maintain the safety of the child’s feelings and natural curiosity.

We have fixed CCTV Cameras in operation around the building, ensuring safety and security always. In addition, our playground surface is anti-slip and impact absorbent, which can help stimulate creative, SAFE, free play, amongst children. There are also gates in to keep the children away from the stairs. Moreover, we have a first aid equipped clinic and CPR trained staff.

Prescription medication will be administered to students on a limited basis and only when the proper procedures have been followed. In the event that it is absolutely necessary for a child to receive prescription medication at preschool, the medication must be sent in the original container with the prescription and the name of the student printed on it.

Parents must also complete and sign the medication authorization form, stating the time,

day, and type of medication to be given. These forms are available at the front desk. Lead teachers will administer prescription medication and must record the time that it is given and initial the form.

Non-prescription medication, including, acetaminophen, aspirin, cold medication and cough remedies will NOT BE administered by any Al Shorooq Preschool staff member. The parent will be responsible for administering this type of medication. Under no circumstances may a student bring any medication, prescription or non -prescription, to preschool to give to the teacher. Please do not bring your child to preschool if he or she is too ill to attend without medication.

If your child ever feels ill, we will take her to the office. If she seems to be fairly sick, or if after a brief stay she feels too ill to return to class, we will contact you to arrange for her to be picked up right away. We understand how difficult it can be for working parents to break free during the day, and yet all of our children get ill from time to time. You will want to make arrangements with a friend or relative in advance, again providing proper identification!
