Our programs
A Program for Every Little Step
From the first cuddles to getting ready for school, each age group has its own room, rhythm and Montessori activities.
2 months – 18 months
Baby Program
A calm, loving start. Our youngest children are cared for in a quiet, cosy space where routines follow each baby, not the clock.
- Feeding, sleeping and nappy routines agreed with you and followed for your baby
- Tummy time, crawling and first steps on soft, safe floors
- Songs, stories and gentle sensory play to awaken the senses
- Lots of cuddles, eye contact and talking to build trust and early language
- Daily updates through the iCare Kids app
18 months – 3 years
Toddler Program
Toddlers want to do it “by myself”. Our Montessori environment lets them, with real child-sized materials and patient guidance.
- Practical life activities: pouring, washing hands, tidying up, dressing
- Sensorial materials for colours, shapes, sizes and textures
- First words and sentences through songs, stories and conversation
- Outdoor play, movement and music every day
- Self-care skills such as handwashing and tidying up
3 – 4 years
Preschool Program
Confident, curious and getting ready for school. Preschoolers work across all five Montessori areas and learn to concentrate, cooperate and express themselves.
- Early literacy: sandpaper letters, phonetic sounds and the moveable alphabet
- Early maths: counting, number recognition and sequencing with concrete materials
- Culture: art, music, gardening, cooking and the world around us
- Grace and courtesy: taking turns, sharing and caring for others
- Independence and school readiness for a smooth move to kindergarten
Multilingual Learning
Young children absorb languages naturally. At Cuddle Castle they grow up with three languages, learnt through songs, stories, games and everyday conversation.
Arabic
Letters, sounds and everyday vocabulary through songs, stories and games, so children grow up comfortable in Arabic.
English
Rich everyday vocabulary, early phonics and confident speaking through stories, songs, rhymes and conversation.
French
A fun first introduction to French: greetings, colours, numbers and songs that train the ear for a new language.
Faith and character
Quran & Islamic Values
In a warm and encouraging atmosphere, children are gently introduced to the Holy Quran and to the values that guide everyday life: kindness, respect, sharing and gratitude.
What children learn
- Listening to and memorising short surahs
- Simple daily duas, such as before eating and sleeping
- Islamic manners: saying salam and bismillah, kindness and respect
- Celebrating Ramadan and Eid together
