Al Bidayat
The Al Bidayat Parent Program is a UAE-wide social initiative focused on growing and empowering a community of parents of preschoolers dedicated to raising kind and competent children. Al Bidayat or “beginnings” equips and inspires parents through online resources and community outreach to nurture young children with strong social skills. This program understands that by focusing on social and creativity skills, children are more likely to be accepted by their peers, excel academically, and are less likely to develop behavioral challenges.
