​The Ministry of Social Affairs has officially decided to resume operations at children nurseries across the country starting this coming Sunday.

This decision was issued under the direct guidance of Minister Dr. Amthal Al-Huwaila to ensure a safe return for children.

The Ministry of Social Affairs confirmed that returning to nurseries remains optional and depends entirely on the preference of the parents.

Official sources stated that the daily schedule will be limited to morning shifts only for a maximum of four hours daily.

The Ministry of Social Affairs strictly prohibited any entertainment events or extracurricular activities during this initial reopening phase of the nurseries.

All nurseries must focus exclusively on the core educational curriculum to ensure a smooth and gradual transition back to the classroom.

The approved plan by the Ministry of Social Affairs includes a total ban on evening shifts until further notice and evaluation.

Authorities will assess the initial experience and parent participation levels before deciding on any further extensions of the working hours.

Every nursery is now mandated to provide a dedicated first aid room equipped to handle any sudden health emergencies effectively.

The Ministry of Social Affairs requires administrative staff to be certified in first aid procedures to ensure maximum safety for children.

Strict compliance with the specified working hours and regulations is mandatory for all licensed nursery facilities operating within the Kingdom.

The Ministry of Social Affairs warned that legal action will be taken against any facility violating the four-hour daily time limit.

Any nursery caught organizing prohibited activities or operating evening shifts will face immediate accountability under the current laws and regulations.

The primary goal of the Ministry of Social Affairs is to provide a secure and disciplined educational environment for all children.

Parents are encouraged to communicate directly with their chosen nurseries to understand the specific safety protocols implemented for the new term.

The Ministry of Social Affairs remains committed to balancing educational continuity with the highest standards of public health and child safety.
