Manama, Bahrain – Abdulrahman Kanoo International School, part of the Abdulrahman Kanoo Educational Group, has successfully wrapped up the FIRST Bahrain Preschool Conference 2025, a landmark national event that has already reshaped the conversation around early childhood education. Led by the Head of Preschool, Ms. Afaf Salmeen, the conference positioned Bahrain at the forefront of innovation, collaboration, and professional growth in the early years sector.
With over 250 participants representing 64 schools and kindergartens across the Kingdom, the conference delivered one of the most diverse and dynamic professional learning experiences Bahrain has seen in early childhood education.
In a pioneering approach, all workshops and sessions were led by Abdulrahman Kanoo International School’s own expert teaching team, sharing proven strategies, classroom innovations, and years of accumulated early years expertise. Their contributions embodied the conference’s mission: to elevate kindergarten education by empowering educators through shared knowledge and best practice.
The conference explored a wide range of themes reflecting global best practices and the evolving needs of young learners, including:
Each session offered actionable insights, real examples, and practical methods educators can implement immediately.
In her keynote address, Principal Ms. Kate Moskwa captured the spirit and urgency of early childhood education with a message that resonated deeply across the conference hall:
“Early years teachers are not just educators. You are brain-builders. Neural gardeners. Architects of the future. Everything we reinforce in these years — emotional security, rich language, play, curiosity — becomes part of the child’s long-term architecture.”
Her speech connected neuroscience, classroom practice, and the immense responsibility educators hold during what she described as “the golden years — when children develop faster than at any other time in their lives.”
The conference concluded with a reflective forum where participants shared insights, questions, and practical recommendations, fostering a culture of open dialogue and continuous professional learning. All attendees received certificates in recognition of their commitment to improving early years education across Bahrain.
The success of the Bahrain Preschool Conference 2025 reinforces the Abdulrahman Kanoo Educational Group’s dedication to raising educational standards and supporting young learners during their most critical developmental stages.
This milestone event not only advances national educational goals but also strengthens Bahrain’s growing reputation as a leader in early childhood innovation across the GCC.
