About us
A Second Home, Built with Love
In our castle, tenderness is the only approach. Every child should feel happy, safe and nurtured.
Our story
Cuddle Castle Nursery opened in Al Dafna, Doha in 2015 with one vision: a second home for children, where parents do not have to worry about safety and hygiene. We are always available to listen to parents’ concerns.
As more families have joined us, Cuddle Castle has grown into one of the most successful nurseries in Al Dafna.
We believe the goal of early education is to awaken a child’s own natural desire to learn. That is why we follow the Montessori curriculum: self-directed activity, independence, hands-on learning and collaborative play.
Our vision
To provide a second home for children where safety, hygiene and care are a priority.
Our founder
Meet Teta
Ibtehaj Al Amirkani, “Teta” as everyone calls her, holds a degree in Child Development and a degree in Graphic Design, and has 15 years of teaching experience. She founded Cuddle Castle out of a desire to give children a place where they feel safe, loved and nurtured, knowing how hard it is for parents to leave their children in the care of others.
Teta is an artist at heart as well as by profession. She has taken part in 27 art exhibitions, including one at the Shafallah Center. Every drawing and painting you see around the castle was painted by her, and she loves creating art with the children.
