Hifz al-Quran Academy (SHA)
It’s time for the Winter Session II of our new Sanabil Hifz al’Quran Academy (SHA). The purpose of our program is to provide a nurturing and enriching environment for children ages 5-10 to excel in their Qur’anic recitation and memorization, Qur’anic Arabic, and understanding of basic Islamic principles and manners. Our dedicated approach ensures that each child receives personalized guidance to support their spiritual and academic growth, preparing them to be confident and knowledgeable young Muslims.

Early Childhood Education Preschool Program
(12months - 5 years) Sanabil Learning Center
Sanabil’s preschool curriculum ensures that students go on to kindergarten with all the core academic readiness skills, while placing an added concentration on developing a child’s mathematical and scientific thinking skills.
Children are in their most impressionable stage during these early years. Following the Montessori Early Childhood Education philosophy, we encourage independence, self-motivation, and decision-making skills. Built upon a strong foundation of academic excellence, Sanabil Learning Center nurtures your child’s social, emotional, physical, and personal development. We encourage our students to be lifelong learners. Furthermore, we utilize Creative Curriculum in order to establish a love of reading in our students, thereby enabling them on their journey for knowledge.
Infants & Toddler Program:
From 12 months to 24 months old, our Infants and Toddler Program helps build independence and confidence while fostering your child’s natural curiosity.
Our 25 months to 3 years old Transition Program follows the Montessori philosophy. Children experience connection, communication, collaboration, challenge, and independence through daily activities that a mixed age group naturally brings.
Our 3 to 5 years old Primary Program also follows the Montessori philosophy. As children learn the necessary skills to prepare for their transition to Kindergarten, they will develop inter-personal relationships between peers, experience hands-on learning, grow their written and oral communication, collaboration, challenge, and independence through daily activities.
S.T.R.E.A.M. Education Initiative
