Among the packed room of attendees, many mothers brought along their babies and toddlers, with the option of having them cared for and supervised by the professionals from the British Home Nursing team of nannies.

EVENT AGENDA

The event got underway with a welcome address from Kay Marham, who explained the running order of the event, which was as follows:

Preparing your child to start school

Karla Mediah, Principal of Dubai British Foundation School, would first answer questions that shone a light on the experience of a young child attending foundation school for the first time. She explained that young children will typically arrive feeling understandably nervous to be away from mum and in school for the first time. Not only this, but parents can also often be anxious at leaving their child at school, away from their direct loving care. Karla stressed how important it is for the school to work and communicate closely with parents to make the transition as smooth as possible.
