Check the post of "Hara" may 9 at 11:35pm. I'm new in riyadh and i really can not recommend this based on my own eyes, but the info is sometimes more useful than comments.

The info give you the chance to check for your own.
i don't even know if the location is convenient for you

hope be useful:)

Let's not get judgmental now :)
A tip on a daycare would be best appreciated at this point!

HKAinKSA

Syed MT, you don't know me nor do you know my family's current situation. So for you to assume I can just leave my work, well, I'm sure you know what they say about those who assume...
and like amegy said, if you don't have advice on daycare, please go find another post to bother. Have a nice day :)

amegy

I found this article while googling a daycare/pre-school I've heard about:

thx for sharing:)

Dear Ladies,

I would like to know wt did u do? Did u get to know any reputable and respectable daycare working from early morning to late in the afternoon? Thanks a lot for sharing.

Alliecat

Why don't 2 or 3 of you ladies get together and create your own 'daycare'? 

There's plenty of lovely Filipina women around looking for work--you'd  have your pick!

You could use one of your homes (or even alternate quarterly) and split the cost of the nanny/sitter/teacher person!

The US Embassy has a daycare from 7:30 am to 5 pm. Very nice and clean. My daughter is in it and I would recommend it to anyone. They are inside the DQ.

Cruelluna

@Allicat: I wish it would have been that easy :((. It would be a great way to start a small business.

@HKAinKSA: Is it available for non-american citizens? If Yes, i need a contact number. Thnx :)

Other than that I called Busy Bee and they only provide an 8 to 12 (and tops to 1:30) program. So i crossed that possibility out.

And I called Little Scholars. Owner is the one who answered the phone. She sounds like a nice lady. Yes, they provide a 8 to 12,which is totally academic. There is an extended program from 12 to 5. Parent is the one who sits the rules of wt will be taking place thru those extra hours(according to the her words). I ll be visiting them soon , I hope.

That's all for now.

But are you sure that's open to everybody?  I think not.  The way I heard it, it's for the employees of the American embassy.

I had the same problem a few months ago  till sumone suggested to me a school in suleimaniyah. It's an international school called dar-al ola international with nuts and lilies daycare. My son was in a daycare last year but cried every single day without fail. Since starting at the above mentioned school, he has been so unbelievably happy. The school is amazing with daily and weekly reports of the kids activities. They also have a facebook page for parents to follow. Even though the school is only one year old, they've already had to renovate to add on extra classes with the growing amount of kids.

i took my baby to little scholars back in 2012 .. he was only 9 months old and once that manager found an older baby to replace they called me all in a sudden to inform me he was fired :| i found that totally unprofissional from them how could they inform me in the same day and i already depend on them and got a job. besides if they couldnt really manage to take care of 9 months or find it hard to deal with .. that is a big indicator that this center is not a proffissional care giver .. otherwise they will be able to deal with whoever... and i really dont think that 9 months is such a trouble maker to just fire him.

Hello there,

Just wanted to ask if you're still happy with Dar al Ola in Suleimaniyah and how much they charge? Also, do you know how far they are from PNU?

Thanks & best regards.
