UK Alumni Awards Finalist 2023

Ms Abeer is from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Former owner of a kindergarten and current faculty in Daris; a small corporation interested in child education. Ms Abeer has BA from KAU, MA from SU, PG Certificate in Therapeutic Play Skills from LBU.

Working with young children, Ms Abeer Gari noticed a growing number of children not acquiring language as typically expected, thus decided to study this matter. Ms Abeer did her MA dissertation on how kindergarten teachers can help children acquire language through play. Ms Abeer believes UK teaching does not “teach” you, nor tell you what to think or do; it gives you a map and fortifies you with tools; lifting you for successful education and a career journey. Ms Abeer hopes to equip all kindergartens to help language delayed children acquire language, all through play.
