- The Kindergarten Starters (TKS / KGS?) domain www.kgs-dxb.sch.ae forwards to www.gemskgs.com. KGS information also at GEMS Education website (www.gemseducation.com).
- TKS website says founded in 1990 but KHDA information says licensed in November 1982.
- Academic year starts in April.
- Fees payable in 10 monthly instalments. Unclear what fees are for 2008-2009. KHDA information is that TKS requested 45% increase but were ineligible because a 16% increase was already applied for 2007-2008.
