Does morocco have the need for early childhood education?

Question

You know like daycare or childcare centers. Do people look for care for their child if both parents work or do other family members generally care for them.

I am looking for myself and maybe possibly opening one up. But I don't know if it is a good choice or needed. But if there is are their guidelines that have to be met.

preferably in Fes. But anywhere else would be cool too.

Yes thank you I am interested. And it would be more american. Education would be absolutely tied in. We are one of those young couples and I actually do work, so opening up a business like this would mean I wouldn't have to work out of the home inshallah.
I am trying to get ideas so if you know some woman who are interested or any information that would help me regarding government guidelines for moroccan daycare please email me.

Thanks

humdulillah.
It looks a bit optimistic. I will try and research the busier cities. Thanks so much.

HOLD ON WAIT A MINUTE?!

I think the majority would speak for itself. And if both parents HAVE to work and would love a respectful islamic worldly education for their little ones while they try to make a living for themselves then what is wrong with that.

Humdulillah that all moroccan woman don't work. But why do I feel hostility in your voice. If you need a job I will be more than willing to hire you. Do you have a resume? email me

And I hope you find fullfilment in what Allah swt has given you. I am striving for what I dream of doing. I hope you will strive also. A WOMANS "ROLE" is what she makes of herself not what society tells her she needs to be. Muslim woman have a right to seek education outside of the home. And depending on what you call education it's not just sitting in a class room.

May you be prosperous in your life as a beautiful working or not muslim woman.

Jazakallah khair for you answer.

Yes I agree SaraT, and thanks for mentioning the french daycares this is interesting and an option.

Thank you so much, but I never said it would only be french, and inshallah I did not wanna give the impression that it would be expensive for rich folk. I am just gathering ideas and ALL your answers were helpful. even the negative ones. Thanks again Lesley R. your answer was very informative.

oops I mean it would not only be english, inshallah

Answer 1

I suppose it really depends on the city. I don't know much about Fez and the needs there. Where I live I don't think it would be a bad business to try since there are a lot of non Moroccans living here who would likely be interested.
Children can start school/preschool here as young as 3 so there is a bit of competition for over age 3. More people are wanting there kids to learn English too so for wealthier people it would be a bit of a fad to send their kids to an English language run school.

EDIT: I do have to agree that wolfkarew is way out of line and I am wondering if she really knows anything about Morocco. A woman working is in no way not respecting Islam. Woman can work and still respect Islam. There are many cases where women have to work and many Moroccan women work outside the house by need and by choice.
As far as her , 'no it isnt good', she is just not right. Even women who stay home would like to be able to send their kids to a educational daycare occasionally. I know women who send their young ones to the French day cares to pick up French early and they certainly are not bad mothers because of this.

Answer 2

Many women who work full time have home help, and the home helps will often look after small children. School starts at age six in towns, but most children have some kind of education before then, either a Quranic school, where they learn the Arabic alphabet and the Quran, or a high powered nursery school. Any child that misses out on these is disadvantaged as most of the rest of the class will enter school already knowing their alphabet and the rudiments of reading.
I'm imagine that rich parents would like to send their kids to an English language daycare centre, as this would help their kids to learn English, especially if they want to send them to an American school later.

Answer 3

Time is changing here in morocco especially in the big cities, we see more and more young couples struggling to find someone who would take care for their kids, so having a day-care centre here it would be a blessing, if it’s the American or English way it would be a “hit” that’s for sure, people in morocco are fed up with the “French” way, I know a couple of American ladies who can do a great job here if you are interested ;) good luck

Answer 4

I think it depends on where you live, and on personal circumstances. I know when I return to Morocco child care will not be a issue for me and my husband as we have family who will help with that. Morocco still tends to be very traditional with family values. It's certainly worth a shot though... it's a fairly new concept for many people there but they just may like it.

Answer 5

In Ohio, early early life schooling is grades pre-K - three (I have this and coach 2d grade). Ohio not presents fundamental (stopped five years in the past, use to be grades one million - eight). If you desire to coach grades four - nine in Ohio, you wish to have a center college license. And be specialised in two area locations (math an technological know-how for instance). Every state is exclusive so determine with PA's state division of schooling, they will have to have a internet site. Good Luck!

Answer 6

Hi there, in Morocco and most famillies only one of the parents work especially men, and women are always hhome taking care of kids, so there is no chance for babysitting over there, for education maybe, like teaching them languages, before they join school. That's what I think is the best way.

Answer 7

No. The mothers watch their children at home or they get theirparents to watch the children while they are at work. Not all women in Morocco work. There is no need for child day cares because the women in Morocco respect their traditional roles of being wives and mothers.
