Mini Madrassah (in person class) Saturdays 10.15-11.30am January 2026

Description

Mini Madrasah

Course Overview

Mini Madrasah is a fully in-person programme designed to give children consistent, structured learning across the year, with a strong focus on building foundations, routine, and confidence in their early Arabic and Qur’an journey.

The programme has been thoughtfully created to support children gently and intentionally, prioritising steady progress, commitment, and presence, rather than rushing or overwhelm. Through regular face-to-face classes, children benefit from a clear structure and a supportive learning environment that allows them to feel secure, capable, and confident as learners.

Mini Madrasah focuses on calm, joyful learning that honours childhood while still providing clarity and consistency. Children are supported throughout the year with ongoing guidance in an environment that values routine, familiarity, and meaningful engagement.

All classes are led by qualified teachers, fully DBS/CRB checked, with experience teaching young children in a gentle and age-appropriate way.

This programme is ideal for families seeking a committed, in-person madrasah setting that lays strong foundations and nurtures confidence over time.
