المنهج والنهج التربوي
Little Elly Nursery follows the British Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, structuring learning around its seven areas: Personal, Social and Emotional Development, Physical Development, Literacy, Mathematics, Understanding the World, Expressive Arts and Design, and Communication and Language. This holistic structure is designed to support each child's physical, emotional, cognitive and social growth in a way that respects their individuality. Layered onto the EYFS framework is what the nursery calls The Happy Approach, a philosophy inspired by the legacy of early years pioneers including Maria Montessori and the Reggio Emilia tradition. The approach places children's happiness and emotional wellbeing at the centre of learning, favouring open-ended, natural materials and imaginative play over screens or generic plastic toys. Core principles include play as the primary vehicle for learning, building meaningful real-world connections through outdoor time and community involvement, encouraging resilience by allowing children to make mistakes safely, and treating parents as partners through regular communication, workshops and events. The nursery also highlights a commitment to diversity, equality and inclusion, along with tailored, bilingual support for Emirati families.

الفئة العمرية: 45 days to 5 years
Little Elly Nursery in Mirdif organises children into five age-based programmes spanning 45 days to 5 years. Tiny Tots (45 days to 1 year) offers a calm, homely space for infants, focused on warm, responsive adult-baby interactions during a critical period of brain development. Little Star (1 to 2 years) supports children as they begin walking, talking and exploring, with development tracked and shared with parents in line with EYFS. The Beginners programme (2 to 3 years) nurtures independence through child-initiated and adult-guided play, stories, songs and messy art activities that build fine motor and communication skills. Little Explorers (3 to 4 years) broadens subject exposure across the EYFS curriculum through practical, problem-solving activities that build knowledge and confidence. The Master Mind programme (4 to 5 years) prepares children for the transition to school through smaller class sizes, play-based learning and daily maths and phonics sessions, with an emphasis on independence and self-esteem ahead of Foundation Stage entry.
