Why This Guide?

The sessions of the 2025 Nonprofit Sector Forum highlighted a clear gap: only 63% of children enroll in intellectual kindergartens, while the vision target is 90%. Experiences from ‘Taybah City’ and ‘Qudrat Schools’ demonstrated that early investment saves one-third of rehabilitation costs later and doubles the inclusion rate. The guide translates those experiences into practical, concise steps.

Step 1 – Determine Demand and Define Governance

Element | Practical Tool | Executive Note

Estimate the number of unserved children (0-6) | Inquiry from the education office + health cluster + Sadaia platform | Approved number = funding basis

Governance Board | A letter from the association to the regional emirate to include education and health | First meeting = task and timeline distribution

Step 2 – Build Partnerships and Funding

Category | Minimum Required | Proposed Source

Location of 400 m² | Convertible residential building or designated land | Municipality / Local Endowment

Funding for sensory equipment | 200,000 Riyals | CSR from a nearby industrial company

Regular medical diagnostics | Monthly mobile clinic | Health cluster + Private hospital

The “Qudrat” model is designed on a foundational grant of 1.8 million Riyals + an operation contract with education that covers salaries.

Step 3 – Design the Integrated Classroom Environment (Saudi Specification Standard 2024)

  1. Child/Teacher ratio = 5 : 1.
  2. Multi-sensory room (dim lighting, tactile materials).
  3. Fixed visual schedule (activity pictures) reduces transitional anxiety by 20%.
  4. Daily mobile app for parents (pictures and video of home exercises ≤ 3 minutes).

Step 4 – 36-Week Curriculum (Taybah Model)

Focus | Minutes per day | Progress Measurement Tool

Receptive and expressive language | 40 | PLS-5 scale every 12 weeks

Fine and gross motor skills | 20 | BOT-2 test

Adaptation and behavior | 15 | Vineland survey

Organized / free play | 30 | Teacher observation log

Step 5 – Performance Dashboard

  • IEP achievement ≥ 70% by the end of the year.
  • Family satisfaction ≥ 80% (electronic survey).
  • Percentage of home nutrition for exercises ≥ 60% (from app data).
  • Annual visit to “Masar” for quality accreditation, targeting a ⭐⭐⭐⭐ rating within three years.

Step 6 – Smart Expansion Strategy

Year | Expansion Path | Prerequisite | Proposed Incentive

1-2 | Establishing quality in the main kindergarten | ⭐⭐⭐ rating | Additional sensory room grant

3-4 | Attached unit at a nearby public school | Partnership with the education office | Free rental support

5 | Early intervention bus for surrounding provinces | Covering 80% of demand within the city | CSR funding from an energy company

Executive Conclusion

A successful nonprofit intellectual kindergarten = Accurate assessment + Sensory standard classroom + Health partnership + Live data dashboard. The project starts with a small foundational grant, but is sustained by a contract with the Ministry of Education and income from support services. Every Riyal at this stage saves three in later stages, and doubles opportunities for inclusion and public education. Start with the assessment step today, and you will see the impact within one academic year.
