Common Questions

We know that choosing a preschool is a big decision. Here are answers to the questions parents ask us

most often.

What is the age criteria for admission?

We follow age-appropriate placement to ensure the best developmental fit for your child. For Playgroup, children should be 2.5–3.5 years old. For Nursery, 3.5–4.5 years. For Junior KG (LKG), 4.5–5.5 years. For Senior KG (UKG), 5.5–6.5 years. Ages are calculated as of June 1st of the academic year.

What curriculum do you follow?

We offer a unique dual-curriculum approach. For academics (Literacy, Numeracy, EVS), we follow an Oxford-aligned international curriculum that meets global standards. For Islamic education, we use the renowned Noor-ul-Bayan methodology for Arabic phonics and Qur’an reading, ensuring correct Tajweed from the very beginning.

Do you teach Qur'an memorization (Hifz)?

Yes, Qur’an education is central to our daily routine. We focus on quality over quantity, ensuring proper pronunciation (Makharij) and Tajweed. By the time children graduate from Senior KG, most have memorized Juz Amma (the 30th part of the Qur’an) and can read from the Mushaf fluently.

What is the teacher-student ratio?

Inspired by the Finnish education model, we maintain a low teacher-student ratio to ensure every child receives personalized attention. Our typical ratio is 1:10, allowing our educators to understand each child’s unique learning style and emotional needs.
