Little Angels Nursery School - Doha

Little Angels - Typical daily schedule

Infants - Our nursery is cared for by a Registered Nurse. The infant nursery has been specially designed to create a warm and secure environment for each infant. Babies at Little Angels have a very special place as they explore their play area, which is full of stimulation toys - all of which were imported from the U.S. Teachers sing songs and read stories to encourage language acquisition, pass balls and play games to develop motor skills, but most of all spend lots of time cuddling and talking to babies to provide comfort. We ask parents to provide us with their baby's schedule so the teacher can ensure consistency between home and Little Angels.

Toddler - Young toddlers play and learn in a fun, bright and cheery environment. Activities such as circle time are introduced to encourage verbal and social growth. Songs, stories and finger play are incorporated into the classroom's daily schedule.
