Hello and Good Day Reader, You have been selected to receive a survey from Professional Minds MEA, the first choice for tangible preschool solutions in the UAE and beyond. My recent research has shown that the nursery inspections will take place in Sharjah, UAE in April and May 2024. For nursery owners and leaders, that means quick and effective preparation. My work as head of kindergarten As the previous and founding head of the kindergarten at Raffles International School, Dubai, I learned how to lead my team to 'outstanding' results when the KHDA inspected. This 'outstanding' accolade was given to the KG section three times in a row, under my leadership of a team of 40. I mention this only to show that I have worked out a strategy for successful results when preparing for inspections of preschools/kindergartens/nurseries. Can any nursery get an outstanding result? I believe that with time, commitment, consistency and determination to establish a quality-driven setting, many nurseries can become outstanding. The problem I have seen over the 15+ years of working in the UAE, evidenced by my research, is that there are sometimes limiting factors. For example:
Inspections The question for you may be: 'How do I prepare for an inspection'? The answer: Begin with the end in mind. Set yourself a goal to succeed and take it from there. Survey to get started If you are getting ready for inspections, why not complete a short survey about inspections? It will take you less than five minutes. On completion of the survey you will receive a free Checklist - '10 Tips for Successful Pre-School Inspections'.
