Many parents are searching for the best nurseries that adhere to quality standards and continuously improve the services they provide to children. This is because the quality of nurseries plays a significant role in shaping and building a child's personality during the pre-school stage, complementing the family's role.
Nurseries are educational institutions that offer care and education for children, and the Ministry of Social Development is working diligently with all partners to establish appealing nurseries that focus on early childhood development. This stage is crucial in shaping and building a child's personality during the pre-school years, complementing the family's role.
By the end of 2024, the number of nurseries had reached approximately 369, with 14 new nurseries opening during that year.
Maryam al Obaidani, Head of the Childcare Institutions Department at the Ministry of Social Development, stated, 'The ministry seeks to enhance the quality of services provided by nurseries and address the challenges they face. Oman is experiencing significant growth in the establishment of nurseries across various governorates, highlighting their importance in early childhood development.'
The National Childhood Guidelines, launched last year, represent a positive step towards a project focused on children and based on a scientific perspective. These guidelines aim to guide individuals involved in nursery institutions on the necessary standards and classification criteria to improve conditions and establish quality institutions for the future.
The National Standards Guide project in Oman is a crucial development initiative in children's rights, essential for achieving quality in nursery institutions. It provides a detailed breakdown of the nursery system and aims to create a safe, stimulating and supportive environment for children to develop their abilities according to their unique characteristics and standards.
