I just started my daughter at a small private nursery and am thrilled with the results. The teacher is Indian, well qualified and very experienced. She covers the KG1 +Kg2 Indian syllabus plus does loads of extra activities like singing, art & craft etc It's a very safe and happy environment & my child loves going. Also the fees are very reasonable. If interested you can contact her at 4566703.

I also have an active 3 year old. We often go to the malls and play at the playplaces there. Our favorite is Fun City at the Centerpoint mall. You could also try Rays Reef at the Royal Plaza. We haven't been there yet but I understand they have art etc to do. Good luck!

Playball class :

Playball is a sports activity programme that teaches children ages 2 – 6 the basics of 8 ball sports together with

fine and gross motor skills, sportsmanship and enjoyment of sports in a non-competitive and fun environment.

The activity is taught by a trained Playball coach.
