The Foundation Center: Early Years Educational Experts

Early Childhood Education

What exactly is it?Early Childhood education encompasses all forms of education provided to young children from birth till 8 years of age. This is the foundational stage of a child's life  and the education received at this age is fundamental to the development of a child's life.

At The Foundation Center, our program has been carefully designed to encourage a unique inquiry based mode of learning for pre school aged children. Our curriculum promotes and supports discovery through play and exploration which sparks creativity, a critical need in today's ever changing world.

Finding the best preschool in Al-khobar is no easy feat.

There are tons of them, literally on every nook and corner.

Most parents find most of these preschools either too expensive, not qualitative enough, too far away, with very little kids for theirs to actually interact with, not impressive staff and many more questionable reasons.

At The Foundation Center, Our aim is to instill a life long love for learning in our children, helping them to be confident independent thinkers who are compassionate yet principled and open minded little people.

At our school, our number one policy is hiring staff who are exceptionally patient, kind, trustworthy and are motherly. Children thrive under nurturing instincts which comes from a motherly and compassionate nature. Our teachers are able to understand what children feel even before they express it and that is our number one unique selling point at T.F.C. So when your children come to us, they are leaving one set of loving hands to the arms of another. It's no wonder why are called The Family School by our parents.
