Yes, if the pace fits a 4-year-old. Expect short 30-minute lessons full of games, one or two letters a week at first, and 5 minutes of daily practice at home. A ready 4-year-old can sit for about 10 minutes, copy sounds and enjoy books. Most recognise the alphabet within 2 to 3 months and start joining letters later. Lessons with us start from age 4.
Four is a great age to start, as long as expectations match a four-year-old.

Teacher’s tip: at 4, the main goal is loving the lesson. A child who looks forward to Quran time will overtake one who was pushed early and turned off.
Start with 2 free trial lessons. If your child does not get on with the teacher, we change the teacher and the trial lessons stay free until your child is comfortable. After that, you choose a paid plan that fits your child.
