Wokka, I've lived in Al Khor, in the community, for nearly 3 years now. Schooling is an issue. AKIS does accept non-rasgas/qatargas students, but you might have to be put on a waiting list. Other english schooling options include Qatar Academy and Compass. Fees are roughly 30kQR a term - with 3 terms in a year.
There are also a couple of child care centres - but I can't recall their names.
The Al Khor Mall is now open. This has Lulu plus other shops: splash, bodyshop, city lifestyle, mothercare, claires, crono etc...
Activities wise there is only really the Mall, but don't forget City Centre is only about 30 mins away - as is West Bay.
Hope that helps. Good luck and Welcome to Al Khor!
