I became interested in quality early learning when my own girl began nursery school. I had the pleasure of volunteering in Kids Corner at Medford High School for six months then I decided to get a master degree with special focus in early childhood. I saw the importance of providing a positive, stimulating early learning experience. I came to realize that purposeful play was the vehicle for learning and began to research curricula. I found myself at the HighScope doing a research and presentation and was immediately convinced that this approach worked. I was impressed by the research and knew that this is what I wanted for my own children and for all children in Saudi Arabia. As time went I started to think of this curriculum to be the Little Genius Daycare Center, and I am pleased to be the Executive Director of the Little Genius Childcare, A HighScope based program, which has operated for more than 25 years.
