Dear Tanveer,

Hey,hope you’re doing great. As you know, I have been working with kids for a long time in Canada. For a change or a new adventure I want to open my own ECE school in Dubai. As you are already living in Dubai, your advice will be really fruitful for me.

First of all, what kind of education or certificate is required, and how much will it approximately cost? What are the typical working hours for an ECE school in your country? And is there a better way to get my work done as soon as possible without any issues? Any suggestions or ideas will be really helpful for mee.

Take care, I’ll catch you later.

With love

Kiran
