there are a new law from ministry of education ... Not sure what exactly what is said, but basically after 3 yrs old your kid can not go to the nursery without the nursery having a specific license. There are so many nurseries in Doha, a friend of mine said only few of them have a proper license. I think it is Sunbeam, CESK, and Doha Montessori School.

At presents some relevants people trying to make a petition to the ministry of education. If they are successfull hopefully the law would be change. But i wouldn't hold my breath.

As soon as you arrive in Doha, i suggest you put your daughter name in the waiting list for American School of Doha (ASD). I assume that you are an american and looking for american education for your daughter :-)
