Trusted tips, activities & milestone tracking for every stage of your little one's journey.
Message educators directly, or share resources with fellow teachers. Every question matters.
Age-appropriate activities, observation tools & staff training — all in one place.
✅ Observe across different times of day and contexts
✅ Involve the child — ask what they were doing and thinking
✅ Share observations with parents regularly — they know the child best
✅ Never observe with a deficit lens — focus on what the child CAN do
✅ Use observations to inform planning — not just record-keeping
Every child in Pakistan deserves the best start in life — regardless of what their family can afford. Pehla Qadam brings international early years expertise to moms and teachers who need it most.
I am a kindergarten director and early years educator based in Dubai, with a deep commitment to improving early childhood education in Pakistan.
My qualifications include a Masters in Education, NPQSENCO, Makaton sign language practitioner certification, CACHE Level 3 and Level 5, and a Bachelor's in Business Administration.
I created Pehla Qadam to bridge this gap — bringing expert guidance free to every mom and teacher in Pakistan.
Phase 1: A powerful free app for moms and teachers across Pakistan.
Phase 2: A growing bilingual content library — podcasts, videos, and downloadable resources.
Phase 3: With funding, establish Pehla Qadam schools built on international best practices across Pakistan.
Your donation keeps this platform free for every mom in Pakistan — and helps build toward Pehla Qadam schools.
Pehla Qadam is actively seeking grant funding and partnerships to expand across Pakistan and build the first Pehla Qadam early years learning centre.
If you represent an NGO, education foundation, or CSR programme, we'd love to hear from you.
