Curriculum & Approach
Kids Academy Nursery follows the British Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), a play-based curriculum that supports children's personal, social, physical, communication and cognitive development. This is blended with the UAE's Early Childhood Quality Frameworks, meaning the programme is also aligned with ADEK Early Years Standards, UAE Vision 2030 and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 4 – Quality Education). Learning is delivered through hands-on, open-ended activities such as small world play, sensory exploration, early mathematics, phonics, reading and mark-making, alongside group work that builds critical thinking and collaboration skills. Children are grouped by age into Babies, Toddlers, Early Learners and Foundation/Reception classes, ensuring activities are developmentally appropriate at every stage. Alongside academic foundations, the nursery places strong emphasis on soft skills such as kindness, inclusion, tolerance and respect, supporting positive behaviour and social interaction. A partnership with the Applied & Behavioral Training Institute (ABTI) also allows the nursery to provide early intervention support for children with developmental delays.

The Babies room welcomes children from 45 days to 1 year, with an emphasis on sensory small world play, early learning activities and supported mealtimes.
