Mission Statement

The longest established British pre-school in Qatar, CESK pre-school is licensed by the Ministry of Social Services. We cater to children from two months to four years. We care about children! Our Aims:

  • To provide high quality education for children from two months to four years. Learning through play plays a huge role in our philosophy.
  • To create a safe, caring and stimulating environment where each child can develop their potential, whilst becoming independent and active learners. We have a child-centred approach, where children are respected as individuals and encouraged to learn and develop at their own pace.
  • To provide clear boundaries in terms of acceptable behaviour, develop children’s moral understanding and use encouragement and praise as rewards for good behaviour.
  • To build each child’s self-esteem together with mutual care and respect for others. Value each child as an individual with its own needs and personality.
  • To encourage a positive attitude with respect towards racial origins, religions, differences of gender and disabilities within the nursery environment by practicing our equal opportunities policy.
  • To increase awareness of each child’s place within both the local and global community through trips within our local area and by hosting regular visitors.
  • To expose children to a variety of experiences to encourage creativity & individuality and to develop self-confidence.
  • Aim to provide the highest standards, based on best practices and be committed to continuous improvement through the development of our staff.
  • To be fair and understanding employers.
