A Nursery: Maadi Album, pt. 1

The following are a few pictures of a nursey just down the street from us. Emily and I walked by it every day on our way to the metro station or to pick up a taxi on the corner. The name of the nursery is: "Nursery of Islamic Beginning." Which strikes me as a strange name. Obviously, it is a Muslim nursery, but I have no idea what that means practically.

The large words (from right to left) read: "Nursery of Islamic Beginning." The words on the book which the children are pointing to say: "Welcome to you" Then the smaller black letters running at the hem of the plants reads: "A Preschool of Islamic Beginning in Maadi."
