This is a true hidden gem for classical Arabic immersion for children. It is the only school of its kind in the entire USA for Arabic immersion! Ms. Ohood is one of the most experienced and sensitive teachers I have met. Her method of teaching one of the worlds most complicated grammatical languages, Arabic, to children is phenomenal. She teaches entirely through play and meets the child where they are. She takes advantage of their natural playing skills to teach Arabic. I have seen non-native children within 2-3 years become fully expressive in classical Arabic with proper grammar while never having been taught one grammar rule formally. Her results speak for themselves: children who truly love her and in the process gained a valuable skill for their brain development and life.

As a non-native speaker trying to teach her daughter Classical Arabic, this place is a God send, alhamdulillah! Weve been attending the Mommy & Me for over a year now and my daughter (3yrs) loves it! Its rare to find environments where only fus-hah is spoken without a lot of dialect or English mixed in. This focus makes it so much easier for the kids, especially those who arent hearing Arabic at home, to learn. And honestly, as the parent, Im learning so much too.The classes are small so children get to build connections with each other and the teachers. The teachers also creative about how to get the children learning and speaking in Arabic. There are games, songs, books, crafts... all kinds of activities to keep their interest. I feel like the teachers are really passionate about teaching Arabic and really care for the children. Its a really lovely environment. I cant recommend enough for those who are prioritising Arabic for their kids.

My daughter has just started from first level on April, 2019 and in two months she has already learned really good. She loves her teachers and friends. Thanks a lot to all teachers for their effort.

Ms. Ohood has a very thorough curriculum and she pours her heart & soul into every activity. Our sons language and ability to express in Arabic improved dramatically over the course of a year. From an emotional aspect, the children feel comfortable in the classroom environment and as a result our son is more at ease with himself.It’s obvious Ms Ohood is well versed in curriculum development. She customizes the courses, the activities and there is a goal behind every session. Nothing is random or adhoc. We placed our son in two other schools, and Al Kawthar is unmatched. We drop off our son knowing his safety is the best hands. It’s almost like we are leaving him with another mother. Ms. Ohood and her staff are very caring and patient. Highly recommend!

Mrs. Ohood is a very patient person. My kids learned so much with her. The location is not the greatest because the bathroom is outside.
