Curriculum & Approach
Aflaj Nursery follows the UK Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework alongside a Reggio Emilia inspired philosophy, giving children the opportunity to lead their own learning through exploration, creativity and hands-on discovery. This combined approach supports early development across communication, physical, social and emotional domains while allowing space for curiosity-driven activity. Child-led learning is visible across the nursery's bilingual classrooms and dedicated activity rooms, where children are encouraged to express themselves, ask questions and engage with materials at their own pace. A maker space fosters creativity and innovation, while outdoor areas support nature play, giving children regular opportunities to explore and connect with the natural environment. Cultural preservation sits alongside the academic curriculum, with Emirati traditions, food and bilingual signage forming part of the daily learning experience, alongside majlis-style gatherings that bring the nursery community together.
