Curriculum & Approach
IQ Kids Nursery follows the UK Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, blended with aspects of Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences. The nursery states this combined approach was the first of its kind applied in a UAE nursery, designed to nurture each child's individual strengths and intelligences alongside the structured learning goals of EYFS. Learning is themed around children's own interests and delivered through an inquiry-based approach underpinned by what the nursery calls the five Cs: Creativity, Communication, Collaboration, Critical Thinking and Care. Children are seen as unique, curious and competent learners, with classrooms and activities continuously adapted to match ongoing projects and topics of interest. The curriculum is applied progressively across the nursery's four stages of development, moving from sensory-led exploration in the baby rooms through to more formal readiness for primary school in the Foundation stage, with reading, writing, numbers, phonics and independence skills built in gradually as children grow.
Ages & Programs
Age range: 45 days to 4 years
IQ Kids Nursery organises children into four broad stages of development. The Infant stage (45 days to 1 year) offers a calm, homely baby room focused on emotional development, sensory play with natural materials, and early motor skill development. The Toddler stage (12 to 24 months) provides a cosy, safe environment where children are supported through sensory and messy play, exploration, and language-rich activities. The Nursery stage (2 to 3 years) invites children to explore themes and concepts through play, storytelling and early socio-dramatic play with peers, balancing fine and gross motor development. The Foundation stage (3 to 4 years) is the final step before primary school, with classrooms adapted around ongoing inquiry projects and covering phonics, letters, numbers, shapes, creative play and cooperation, encouraging children to learn at their own pace. Across all stages, IQ Kids Nursery in Bani Yas also runs an Arabic and Islamic programme and a support programme for children of determination with additional needs (SN), delivered through individual education plans and specialist sessions.
