Curriculum & Approach
The nursery follows the UK Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), the same framework used across British nurseries and primary schools worldwide. This approach focuses on the holistic development of young children through structured play, exploration and guided activities that build early literacy, numeracy, social and physical skills. As children move through the nursery year groups, from N0 to Senior Nursery, they are gradually prepared for the transition into Foundation Stage 1 and the broader English National Curriculum offered across Yasmina British Academy, which incorporates a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) focus in later years. The Academy places strong emphasis on partnership between home and school from the earliest stages, with parents encouraged to stay engaged in their child's early learning journey through regular communication and school events.
Ages & Programs
Age range: N0 to Senior Nursery (SN)
The nursery is organised into year groups spanning N0, N1, N2, N3 and N4, culminating in Senior Nursery (SN), before children move into Foundation Stage 1 within the main Academy. Each stage is designed to build progressively on early skills in preparation for the transition into the primary years. The nursery enrols both boys and girls and forms an integrated part of Yasmina British Academy's wider offering in Khalifa City, allowing for a consistent educational philosophy as children progress from nursery through to secondary school.
