Our History:
My Book & Me was founded in 2011 as a library-coffee shop space with 500 titles of books for children, families and educators alike to encourage bonding and quality time as well as appreciation for knowledge and life skills Through group talks and gatherings. The books exceeded 4000 titles in different areas of education, psychology, parenting, special needs, research, nutrition, health, references, non-fiction, fiction books and books for children, teenagers and young adults in both English and Arabic. My Book & Me then became the first ‘edutainment’ center in Oman, combining education with entertainment that is vital to a child’s learning lifecycle. We offered a wide range of courses, workshops, programs and seminars covering different angles and aspects of children’s developmental and educational needs from birth to university. Teachers, counselors and educators also had the opportunity to enrich their students’ experience at school. We collaborated with them to provide tailor-made activities, courses and in-house field trips according to their requirements. As we transitioned into a nursery, we continued to grow and improve our facilities and programs to meet the needs of children and their families. Parents and guardians benefited from the programs at My Book & Me Nursery, whereby we took care of the whole family. We offered consultations for parents and guardians to assist them with key parental and life skills practices in addition to guiding them on how to best address their children’s needs accordingly. These methods helped both parents and guardians alongside the nursery to identify the most suitable activities and courses offered. We monitored and followed-up on children’s development and the overall family’s well being during the course of the program and activities selected. Our latest venture ‘Learn & Inspire by Dr. Taghreed Turki Al Said’, stems from years of successful implementation of our activities, programs and expertise in the areas of family and child development.
