Please:

Does anybody know any day-care,pre-school or kindergarten inside the Diplomatic Quarter?

Do you have phone numbers, contacts or websites?

Thank you in advance!

The Americans have a new nursery/pre-school but it might only be for embassy employees. You should call to find out.

Good luck.

I don't recommend the USERA daycare of the US Embassy it is toooooo bad and irresponsible. My kid went there for 2 months and guess who was taking him to the bathroom & wash his hand? The school GAURD!! Suddenly I knew it from my son!!!! Thanks God my baby is a boy not a girl, plus they don't have clear system every day Ms Wendy Johnson pops up a new policy!! They don't have any plan for each month. Above all, they are expensive. I registered for the full day i.e. from 7:30 am - 5:00 pm & I paid $3300 for only two months ($1400\month + $500 deposit) so total amount was $3300!! Does not deserve it at all. Any how at the end it is your call.

Thanks for the update on Usera. I was planning to go have a look but will keep this in mind! Do you know if they teach in English at Tuwaiq Kindergarten?

uob- I've heard that My Little Gym and School near the DQ is quite good too. Its about a 10 minutes drive from the DQ?

Thanks for the links, Alliecat... but unfortunately they're not much helpful:/
however, I hope someone else would write to give some reliable information:)
