Curriculum & Approach
Emirates KinderCare Nursery bases its learning programme on the British EYFS curriculum, which sets UK standards for early years learning, development and care. The framework is built around four core principles: A Unique Child, Positive Relationships, Enabling Environments, and Learning and Development, all of which shape daily practice across the nursery's classrooms. Within this framework, children progress through six learning pillars: Health and Physical Development, Math and Scientific Thinking, Language and Communication, Social and Emotional development, Understanding the World, and Art and Creativity. Teachers plan monthly themes and activities that encourage freedom of movement and choice, structured and orderly learning materials, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. Progress is tracked through trimester reports, which are shared with parents alongside Teacher-Parent meetings to discuss each child's development across all six pillars. The EYFS curriculum is delivered in both English and Arabic, supporting bilingual language development from an early age.
Ages & Programs
Age range: 45 days to 4 years
Emirates KinderCare Nursery organises its provision into distinct age-based classes that follow the ADEK-recognised nursery stages of N0 to N4 and SN. Baby Steps caters for babies from 45 days to 24 months, offering gentle, nurturing care for the youngest children. Pre-Foundation follows for children aged 24 to 36 months, building early social and physical skills. Children aged three to four years join the FS1/Pre-School class, where the EYFS curriculum becomes more structured in preparation for future schooling. The nursery also runs Seasonal Camps for children aged two to five years during school holiday periods, offering themed activities outside of regular term time.
