Bright, welcoming spaces in Riyadh where Nursery, Preschool, and Kindergarten children learn, play, and grow with the guidance of caring, experienced teachers.
Based within the Ministry of Commerce in Riyadh, Bear Hugs creates a calm, inviting environment where children settle in with ease and grow with confidence. Our teachers take a thoughtful approach, balancing genuine care with structured learning to support each child’s development, curiosity, and social connection. From Nursery (7:45am–12:30pm) through to KG1–KG3 (7:45am–1:30pm), the day is carefully shaped to keep children engaged, happy, and progressing.
With over two decades of experience since 2003, our focus goes beyond academics. We place equal importance on character, encouraging kindness, respect, and emotional awareness alongside early learning milestones. Through hands-on activities, consistent support, and strong teacher-child relationships, children develop the confidence to express themselves and the empathy to connect with others.
At Bear Hugs, every activity is intentionally designed to support your child’s development. We balance the building of essential skills with strong character foundations, helping each child grow academically, socially, and emotionally in a well-rounded, meaningful way

Early literacy at Bear Hugs is nurtured through curiosity and enjoyment. Children build strong reading foundations through phonics, storytelling, and shared reading experiences that develop both imagination and understanding. Writing is introduced naturally, with a focus on forming letters, building simple sentences, and expressing ideas, helping each child grow in confidence as they begin to communicate in their own voice.
Math comes to life through hands-on learning. Using games, puzzles, and interactive activities, children develop a strong understanding of number sense, counting, patterns, basic operations, and measurement. Problem-solving is woven into everyday learning, helping build confidence, curiosity, and a natural appreciation for numbers and logical thinking.
Our science approach encourages children to explore, question, and discover. Through hands-on experiments, observation, and guided exploration, they begin to understand the world around them, from plants and animals to weather, the five senses, and simple physical concepts. Each experience is designed to spark curiosity, build confidence, and deepen their connection to the world they see every day.
Each month introduces a new theme that carries through activities, stories, crafts, and exploration. This approach keeps learning engaging and connected, helping children relate what they learn to the world around them while building social, emotional, and academic skills across all areas of development.
