They also have a late pick up program from which children can be picked up anywhere up to 1:30 for a nominal fee of 200 QAR/month. (I think that is the cost of it.) But maybe even that extra hour isn't of much help to you...

Hi DebK, thanks but I already asked and the kids need to be picked up at 12:30. I cant do that with my schedule. I would much rather get him into a school that offers transportation. If anyone has any suggestions plz let me know.

Gingerlily -- Kidnaround Kindergarten is operating three KG2 classes this year and still has some spots available. They just don't run a bus service.

Hey Everyone! I know this topic has been exhausted and everyone hates hearing about the woes of school waiting lists! But I really need any help I can get. We've been on the waiting list for ACS for Kindergarten (son is almost 5) so he's done with KG1 and should be going into KG2. I really had hope a spot would open up since his sister is already enrolled in the school and we've been on the list for months, but it doesn't look like it's gonna happen. I was planning on the Qatar Academy community school but they want to drop him a year and they don't have a bus service. I tried Compass Rayyan and they dont have spaces, many schools don't even pick up the phone these days. I was thinking of enrolling him in Kid N Around but again i doubt they have a bus and don't know if they have spaces. Anyone know of a school that has spots in KG2 or equivalent? I know this is a longshot but any info. would be great, Thanks.
