Hi there and welcome to our blog!
We are 2 mums, Lea and Mel, who are super passionate about Early Learning and for the last few years we have been on an incredible journey to launch an Early Learning Group in Saudi Arabia. That dream is finally becoming a reality and our first centre will open in 2025, so watch this space!
We are Aussies who have both lived in the Middle East for more than 20 years and we really enjoy being surrounded by the rich Arabic culture. Our children were all born in Abu Dhabi and we feel really blessed that they have been raised in an environment that has enabled them to make friends from all over the world and be global citizens.
Over the last few years we have spent a lot of time in Saudi Arabia and moving here has presented us with a new adventure. It is a really exciting time to be in the Kingdom and living through this age of such rapid change.
Mel is an Early Learning expert with many years of teaching and leadership experience who enjoys Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, travelling and reading. Lea has a more corporate background in trade and investment but has also worked within the Early Learning space as a centre Director. Lea’s interests are travel and reading, as well as cooking and physical training. We’re besties who also happen to be a great team.
Many people think of Early Learning in education terms, but we want to ensure that we are supporting a child’s entire holistic wellbeing. We realized that we could share so much information with the wider community and not just with the families who have children in our centres. Thus Growing Little Humans Blog and Podcast was born.
Each week we will post a blog and plan to cover the plethora of topics that come up when raising little ones, from the choice of maternity hospitals through to how to deal with tantrums, your child’s first day at nursery or school or feeding with picky eaters. We want to help you navigate the challenges of being a parent and give you the resources that you can access when you need a little more information.
So join us on our journey and hopefully we can be another tool in your parenthood toolkit. Subscribe below so that you know when a new post drops and follow us on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube.
See you next week!
