Hello lfreshi04 and welcome to the forum,

For AurélieZ and Vidodido comments : :one

Being French, I assume you speak French as well... Maybe you didn't notice there is a French part of this forum. Just clic on the French flag (top right of the page) to switch. It's not a translation of that forum, but a different one where you might find some French moms to help :D
In the French section, you also have many articles in the "Guide" that might help.

Feel free if you have any further questions, we'll try our best to help.

Cheers and hope to see you soon on our archipelago ;D

Hi Ifreshi,

You will have a good life in Bahrain. I'm in Bahrain since 10 years. They have all kids of schools. Life is easy here comparing to other parts of the world. Just try to stay away from Shia areas as occasionally they tend to cause small riots.

Apart from that, you have nothing to worry about. You & your family are gana have fun.

Regards,
Lulu

the  best  place i  think is ...
juffair ,adliya , busaiten , new Hidd , amwaj
