The Minister of Labour and Social Development, Jameel bin Mohammed Ali Humaidan, delegated the Undersecretary of the Ministry, Sabah Salem Al Dosari, to inaugurate the sixth edition of the “Mother and Child Care Exhibition”, held from 16 to 18 January at the Bahrain International Convention and Exhibition Centre. The exhibition features institutions operating in the education sector, including private schools, kindergartens, and specialised centres for child development. The exhibition aims to enhance parents’ and students’ educational awareness, introduce them to kindergartens and selected private schools in Bahrain, and familiarise them with centres concerned with child development, pre‑school programmes, and kindergarten services (nurseries). It also seeks to support and encourage nurseries and child‑focused centres to raise the level of their development services. This edition includes 6 government agencies showcasing their services for children, 15 nurseries and kindergartens, 9 private schools, and 24 centres for developing children’s skills and caring for mothers and children in the Kingdom of Bahrain. On this occasion, Al Dosari affirmed that such specialised exhibitions provide parents with an opportunity to meet entities concerned with mother and child affairs, helping them learn about the foremost services available. He noted the distinctive breadth of participation under one roof by experienced representatives of governmental, private, and civil society organisations, thereby reinforcing interest in quality education for children. The Undersecretary of the Ministry of Labour and Social Development emphasised that, through its supervisory role over kindergartens (nurseries) and through community partnerships, the Ministry seeks to advance the child and motherhood sector in the Kingdom of Bahrain, contribute to an appropriate environment of care that enhances quality of life, and provide all necessary requirements for the advancement of this segment, which constitutes a fundamental building block of society. Entry is free and open to all. Exhibition hours are from 10:00 am to 9:00 pm on Thursday and Friday, and until 6:00 pm on Saturday.
