Founders Note
Abeer was not built as a school.
It was born as a response.
A response to something I had quietly witnessed over years of working closely with young children… and even more deeply, through my own journey as a parent.
Children begin their lives whole.
Curious. Expressive. Certain of themselves.
They arrive trusting their voice.
Trusting their ideas.
Trusting their place in the world.
And slowly, almost invisibly, that certainty begins to change.
Not because they lack intelligence.
But because the environments around them stop seeing it fully.
I began to understand that early childhood is not just about what children learn. It is about what they come to believe about themselves.
Am I capable? Am I heard? Do my thoughts matter?
These beliefs are not taught. They are formed through experience.
I saw how easily confidence could be nurtured. And how easily it could be diminished. Not through harm, but through environments that were never designed to truly see the child.
And I knew there had to be another way.. Abeer was created to be that place.
A place where children are not hurried into becoming someone. A place where they are first understood for who they already are. A place where their questions are valued, their pace is respected, and their sense of self remains intact.
Because what a child believes about themselves in these early years does not stay in childhood.
It becomes who they are.
Abeer exists to protect that belief.
So that every child who walks through our doors grows not just in skill, but in certainty of who they are.
