Hero
Title. Quran classes for children
Lede. Saturday mornings, in a calm room, with a teacher who knows your child by name.
What this is
A weekly small-group class for children aged 5 to 14, focused on reading, recitation, and gentle understanding. We start with the alphabet for absolute beginners and move at the pace of each group, never the loudest child. There is no exam at the end, and no pressure. The aim is for children to grow up comfortable around the Quran, the way they grow up comfortable in their own kitchen.
Who it's for
- Muslim children aged 5 to 14.
- Children of any reading level, from absolute beginners to confident reciters.
- Families happy to see their child in a small mixed-age group rather than a large class.
When and where
- When. Saturday mornings, 10:00 am to 11:30 am during NSW school term.
- Where. The centre's regular Saturday classroom. Email for the current address.
- Breaks. We pause during NSW school holidays and during the last week of Ramadan.
Cost
The class is free. Families who can spare a suggested donation of $5 a week help cover books, photocopying, and tea. We never turn a family away on cost.
How to enrol
Email hello@micc.org.au with your child's name, age, and any reading they have done before. We will reply within two working days with what to bring on the first morning.

A few common questions
My child has never read Arabic. Is that a problem?
Not at all. We have plenty of beginners every term, and we start with the alphabet.
Is there a girls' group and a boys' group?
We teach children together by age in the early years. We sometimes split older students into separate groups, depending on numbers. Happy to discuss what works for your family.
My child is a bit shy. Will they be okay?
Yes. The groups are small (eight to ten children). Quiet children settle in quickly, and we never call on a child who is not ready.
