>A play-based preschool program for Muslim children and their families in San Ramon, California
The name Nuh’s Ark was chosen in honor of one of the greatest prophets in our Islamic tradition. Prophet Nuh (peace be upon him) called his people to God for nearly 1,000 years in a time when most people were not willing to hear his invitation or his warnings. He promised to provide them with a safe haven and a means of salvation. In our days, when many children are being exposed to a myriad of negative influences during their formative years, Nuh’s Ark aims to be a safe haven for Islamic values, etiquettes, and lessons. Our hope is to nurture the fitra (primordial nature) of children to contemplate and know their Lord through His signs.
About the Founder
Kiran Adnan is the founder of Nuh’s Ark. She is an experienced preschool teacher and parent. She taught at ILM Tree preschool in Lafayette, CA, for the past four years and in other home-based preschool programs prior to ILM Tree. She has received her Early Childhood Education from Diablo Valley College which included working in the DVC Early Childhood lab, but education runs in her blood. She comes from a family of educators and it has always been her dream to start a school of her own. Kiran’s two sons are mostly independent (13 and 17 years), so she now has the time to give her energy to help raise and nurture the next generation of Muslim children. She has a clear intention for her interactions with her students, praying that they will grow up to be the best of this ummah (global Muslim community) with a strong identity, foundation, and love for Allah and His Messenger (upon whom be peace). Her hope is to help them grow in these foundational years with solid Islamic character and manners, insha’Allah. May Allah give her tawfiq (success) to fulfill these noble intentions. Aameen.
