Children love to strike a pose in our Yoga Class!
Before we moved to Doha from the U.S. we were concerned about the quality of daycare, but Creative Child exceeded our expectations. They provide an excellent learning environment, enthusiastic teachers and a welcoming atmosphere. We are very pleased with our choice for our daughter. She has grown and gained so much during her time at Creative Child.

We have been lucky enough to send both our boys to Creative Child Nursery. They have both had fabulous teachers and have grown more than we could have ever imagined. The staff at Creative Child is caring and dedicated to each student's development. We look forward to the start of each new year and know that Creative Child has done a lot to make our time in Doha all the more positive for our kids.

I'm a mother of twins who were born premature. Finding a good nursery was a big concern to me. I went to almost all the nurseries in Qatar to find the best one, and honestly I didn't find better than Creative Child. The hygiene, the atmosphere, it is really home outside home. Thanking Creative Child Family is not enough. You are doing really great work.
