Hi,

My daughter is 2yrs 5months, I am also very keen to find a Arabic Saturday school that does NOT teach the Quran.

Did this group start a Saturday club? if so please post details. I live in Kent but would be prepared to travel.

Hi,

My daughter Aya is 13 months old and I'm desperate for her to gain some exposure to Arabic - I try my best to speak to her solely in Arabic but it is a second language for me and my husband doesn't speak it at all so I'm looking for other ways to help her acquire it. I would love to bring her along to a playgroup as all the arabic schools I've found don't seem to cater to under 4s. We live in SW9 but I'd go anywhere in London!

Did you get your playgroup up and running? Please post details if so

Hi,

I'm Aisha and my daughter is 18 months. We'd love to come to Arabic play sessions. We're based in North London. Near Finsbury Park.

In terms of CDs, we have a few, which I could bring for you to listen to and see if you wanted to get the same ones.

Depending on demand, we could begin in our homes and expand when we have the numbers. I'd happily contribute to paying for your friend's daughter to lead the session.

Best wishes
Aisha

Good, so we have 4 kids already
I don't have any CDs but I have found some nice videos and songs on you tube.
Do you know anybody who could run the playgroup? we could get a quote from a tutor, but it requires a certain type of person to make it fun for the kids... I know of a 16year old Iraqi girl, the daughter of a friend, who might be willing to give it a go... then we would have to hire a room, I guess. The more central the more likely we are to find more people.

I have 4 years old, a 2.5 yo and a 6 month old baby.... That's half of a playgroup already!!

Do you know of a good cd with children songs that would be available on iTunes or on amazon?

Great! I'm in north-East London. Sure there must be other people interested... how old is/are your kid/s?

Hi there!

I have not found anything yet...
What about you? I like your idea of a playgroup.
Where about are you?

Hi there!
I'm also interested in finding non religious Arabic classes/playgroups in Central or North London for my 15-month old daughter.

I haven't found anything yet... any suggestions?

If there are more people interested we could organize a playgroup.

hello,

We are looking for an Arabic Saturday school that is NOT teaching the Quran. I have fond only two in London, the one in Ealing and the one in Portobello road... Both are a bit of a trek from North London.
Any thing else closer to us? Someone told me about one in Paddington or Swiss cottage but i can't find anything about it on the web.
