Curriculum & Approach
Jumeirah International Nursery follows the British Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum together with the International Preschool Curriculum (IPC), giving children a structured yet play-based path towards school readiness. This core framework is enriched with the Reggio Emilia philosophy, which views children as capable, competent learners who construct knowledge through interaction with their environment and peers, supported by documentation such as art displays, photographs and portfolios that capture each child's progress. The Curiosity Approach shapes the physical learning spaces, with natural, open-ended resources such as shells, leaves, pinecones and homemade playdough used to spark exploration, questioning and creative thinking. Positive Education runs alongside this, with morning mindfulness exercises, emotional check-ins, empathetic storytelling and gratitude practices helping children build resilience, self-worth and social-emotional skills. Montessori principles are also woven into the EYFS programme, supporting the development of independence, self-confidence and problem-solving. Children's progress is tracked through differentiated learning plans and regular written assessments against the Early Learning Goals of the EYFS and the IPC framework, with a full progress check offered at age two in consultation with parents.
Ages & Programs
Age range: 45 days to 6 years
Children progress through a series of named age-group classes as they grow. Little Learners (0 to 1.2 years) focuses on gentle sensory exploration, rolling, crawling and early independence, with access to a dedicated outdoor garden and sensory playground. Curious Beginners (1.3 to 2 years) introduces child-initiated play, language development, fine motor skills and, typically, the start of potty training. Inquisitive Adventurers (2.1 to 3 years) builds independence, role-play and social skills through assemblies, music and puppet shows, while Confident Explorers (3.1 to 4 years, FS1) offers free-flow access to outdoor play, messy play, music, cooking and creative crafts. Active Discoverers (4.1 to 5 years, FS2) delivers personalised lessons across Literacy, Mathematics, Understanding the World, Expressive Arts & Design and Sports, and Creative Achievers (5.1 to 6 years, Year 1) follows the IPC to prepare children for the transition into primary school.

Positive Education underpins daily practice, with educators supporting children's emotional check-ins, empathy and resilience through mindfulness exercises and storytelling. Regular observation and written assessments allow staff to identify each child's developmental needs early, with a formal progress check offered at age two in partnership with parents.
