Marafi Bilingual Nursery is a long-running, family-run nursery group in Kuwait, founded in 1999, with multiple branches across the country. This guide covers the Salwa branch specifically, relevant if you’re comparing nursery options in the Salwa area.
Marafi Bilingual Nursery: background and branches
Marafi Bilingual Nursery was established in 1999 with its original branch in Salmiya, founded by Eman Marafi. A second branch opened in Bayan in 2007, and a third branch operates at Al-Shaab Leisure Park on Baghdad Street — alongside this Salwa location. Being a multi-branch, long-established operation is worth noting if brand consistency and a proven track record matter to your decision, though it’s still worth confirming that the specific branch you’re considering matches the reputation of the group overall, since quality and management can vary somewhat by location.
Curriculum and daily program
Marafi Bilingual Nursery accepts children from 3 months to 5 years old, covering infant daycare through pre-Kindergarten within one continuous program. Parent reviews describe a bilingual English-Arabic curriculum, with children reportedly learning early literacy and numeracy — writing letters, recognising numbers — in both languages by around age 3. Reviews also mention potty training support and a genuine emphasis on social skills like sharing, alongside a good number of field trips to places like Kidzania, the Scientific Center, indoor play areas, and pizza outings as part of the enrichment program.
Fees and hours
One parent review of the Salmiya branch specifically mentioned a monthly fee of around KD 160 including meals and snacks — this figure is branch-specific and may not apply directly to the Salwa location, so confirm current Salwa branch fees directly rather than assuming they match. The Salwa branch is reported to operate from roughly 6:30 AM to 4:00 PM, Sunday to Thursday, with some indication of after-hours pickup flexibility until 6 PM — again, confirm current hours directly, since these details come from parent reports rather than an official published schedule.
