After being at home with 'mummy' every day, it was a scary experience for all of us when the day arrived for our 2 1/2 year old to start attending nursery on a daily basis. Hats off to Patsy and all the staff at TEK for making the transition for him a smooth one. We are impressed with his confidence level and how happy he is each day we pick him up, he has so much to tell us about his day and he can't wait to go back. Two and a half years later, each and every staff member knows him by name, not just his class teachers; he is made to feel welcome and loved each morning (often with a hug when he was a bit reluctant in the first few days), just what every little person needs when venturing away from the comfort of home and into the 'BIG' school world! Thanks TEK for your love and support Owen has received, as well as professionalism...it has paved the way and will be valuable for him as he continues his schooling years.

The English Kindergarten is a place where our children feel at home. Management and Teachers alike have played a major roll in our children's lives. The nurturing and loving atmosphere has made it a place where our children love to go. Their developmental progress and language skills, as English was not their first language, had improved tremendously since we arrived in Doha and we have to give thanks to the English Kindergarten for making this possible. Our eldest child was accepted into Park house School, based on the high standard of education level he received in the Reception class at the Kindergarten. He was prepared for whatever came his way in Year 1.
The Staff at the English Kindergarten have all shown patience and willingness to help out wherever they could. Each child is given individual attention and focus to develop in areas where needed.
Ideas and suggestions given by parents are taken seriously and wherever possible, implemented. This is a school we found to be highly focused on keeping our children happy, healthy and stimulated. Our children's interests were always put on top of the priority list.
