المنهج والنهج التربوي

Maple Bear Nursery follows a curriculum written by a team of Canadian educational experts, who also deliver annual teacher training at each school in the network. The approach is inquiry-based and play-based, encouraging children to ask questions, investigate and discover answers through hands-on exploration rather than passive instruction. Eight areas of development, cognitive, language and literacy, dramatic play, social and emotional, gross motor, fine motor, arts and creativity, and music and movement, are addressed daily through careful planning by trained teachers. Activities are integrated thematically across subjects to stimulate creativity and self-expression while building each child's positive self-image as a capable, competent learner. Multilingual immersion is a feature of the programme, with English and French offered alongside a locally developed Arabic curriculum based on Canadian methodology. Parents are treated as partners in this journey, with daily communication through a dedicated app and regular face-to-face contact with teachers to keep families informed of progress and involved in their child's learning.

The nursery in Al Safa 1 welcomes children from as young as 45 days through the Bear Care programme, which is structured across three stages (45 days to 6 months, 7 to 12 months, and 13 to 24 months) to meet the developmental needs of infants in a warm, nurturing setting. Toddlers aged 2 to 3 years take part in planned routines, small group activities and themed learning centres, with a strong focus on music, movement and outdoor play to build social skills and gross motor development. The Nursery class for children aged 3 to 4 years introduces more structured hands-on activities that build self-regulation, communication and early literacy skills. Junior Kindergarten (4 to 5 years) and Senior Kindergarten (5 to 6 years) are also available at this Dubai location, expanding into subject streams such as language arts, STEM, and creative and cultural expression, preparing children for their transition into primary school. This Al Safa 1 branch also offers Bear Nest and Bear Play sessions for infants and toddlers, guided parent-and-child classes combining songs, movement, stories and sensory play to support early bonding and development alongside a parent or carer.
