My Name is Nahed Davis, Owner and Director of Small World Preschool for 29 years in Maadi, Cairo, Egypt. With a B.A. in English and a Diploma in Early Childhood Development (Ages 3-6 years) - I have also been teaching for 31 years and counting. I have completed numerous courses and workshops in Special Education, working with the Learning Resource Center (LRC), The Egyptian Autistic Society, and Launch, in order to include children with Autism and others on the spectrum in our mainstream education. All of our children, no matter where they are on the spectrum, have been accepted in International, American and British schools and have continued to show tremendous improvements and success.
Every summer, I return to my US based home for 2 months. During that time, I visit preschools to get introduced to new and different approaches in early childhood education.
Our teachers and assistants have worked in this field for a minimum of 10 years and they are required to attend workshops and seminars in order to develop as educators.
Our staff are committed to provide safe, secure and loving care in a stable and stress-free environment, which encourages your child to grow socially, emotionally and intellectually.
