Nursery management software in Kuwait
Bambini is nursery management software made in Kuwait and designed in Arabic first. It runs attendance, daily reports, messages and fees in Kuwaiti dinars, with a parent app and a teacher app. Private nurseries in Kuwait operate under a Ministry of Social Affairs licence, under Law 22 of 2014.
