Kids Preschool & Kindergarten in East Riffa, Bahrain
Al Shorooq Kids Preschool Bahrain is the idea of a working mom who was looking for the best nurturing environment for her preschooler son. After hard research of the top International Preschool Programs, she has decided that Montessori philosophy is the best, the Montessori approach is based on Dr. Montessori’s scientific observations of young children's behavior. Her first "Children's House" was established in Rome in 1907. She found children learned best in a homelike environment filled with developmentally appropriate materials that provide experiences, which contribute to the growth of self-motivated, independent learners.
Al Shorooq Preschool Kindergarten Bahrain is incorporating the philosophy of the revolutionary early childhood educator Dr. Maria Montessori bilingually, combined with strong instilling of morals, to encourage our children’s natural love of learning; for now and for the future.
About Al Shorooq Preschool
Al Shorooq Preschool follows the innovative Montessori approach, which has been proven internationally and now is applied in our preschool in both English and Arabic.
At Al Shorooq Preschool, we always attempt to encourage leadership and originality at this early age because we believe that we are planting the seed that will continue to bloom and bear fruits for years till adulthood, guiding children through project-based hands-on lessons and thus create an independent, confident and self-reliant personalities.
The environment surrounding children in the preschool gives them the freedom to choose their preferred practical activity using tools and materials that are fun and specially designed to develop skills that suit their unique interests and abilities and it's individualized and self-paced without complying with peers which enhances confidence and ignites their curiosity while eliminating pressure or frustration resulted from peer comparison.
We educate children between the age three and six, which are considered to be Pre-KG, KG-1, and KG2 but since that we follow Montessori Method we mix different ages at the same class which will help improve the personalities of our children. On the other hand, all our graduates are capable and ready to join elementary schools, whether British, American, or Public.

The Preschool Day
Al Shorooq Preschool opens its door from 7:30am till 12:30pm, please inform us if extra hours are needed.
Morning Drop Off Procedures
Children can arrive at preschool between 7:20-7:40 am. Pay attention to the child during drop off and make sure that you accompany him/her to the premise.
Late Arrival Policy
All students should arrive at preschool well before 7:40 am. This allows children ample time to say their good-byes, greet friends, put things away, and get settled in before their daily class activities begin.
Children arriving after 7:40 am are considered late.
When children arrive late it is a difficult adjustment for them, as well as being a disruption to the class. Please make every effort to arrive on time.
The following procedures must be followed if your child arrives at preschool after 8:00 am:

• All students must be signed in by a parent. You must park your vehicle in a designated parking space and walk your child to the reception area where a staff member will take your child to his or her classroom.
• Parents will be contacted after 3 late arrivals per quarter in order to discuss ways to support their child’s timely arrival.
• In the event of an unavoidable delay, please call the Principal of Al Shorooq Preschool (17622500) to inform us that your child will be late. If your child is late three times, you will receive a call from the Principal, so that she can assist you in developing an appropriate plan.

Attendance Policy
Even though The Al Shorooq Preschool is less formal and more flexible than many preschools, consistent attendance and prompt arrival are still essential.
Although our program is individualized, it depends upon consistency and continuous progress. Every time a child misses preschool for whatever reason there is a period of readjustment as she tries to get back into the routine of her work. The longer the absence, or when a child consistently misses a day or two of preschool here and a day or two there, the more detrimental it becomes to her educational development.
Please call The Principal (17622500) before 8:00 am if your child is absent for any reason.
This will save unnecessary calls by the preschool staff. On the day following your child’s absence please send a note to your child’s teacher stating the reason for the absence.
Parents who wish to have students released from preschool prior to the end of the academic day must provide a note to the classroom teacher. For emergencies, please notify the Principal (17622500).
Release of Students
Please pay attention to the child during pick up and make sure that you accompany him/her the premise.
Children will only be released to parents and to those others who have been listed on the Student Release form in the student’s file (see special circumstances below). The staff will ask for photo identification when they don’t recognize the person picking up the child. Even parents may be asked for identification if they are new to the staff members on duty.
Please have your photo I.D. available just in case, and instruct those picking up your child to do so as well.
In special circumstances, parents may send in a note giving permission for the preschool to dismiss their child to another parent or to other individuals not on the student release form. Please be sure the note gives the date of the special dismissal request and is signed.
All our staff leave by 12:45, so we expect you to pick up your child before this. If you have a situation and will come late, please inform us a day before.
