Kids Academy Nursery – Al Bateen follows the British Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), a play-based framework that supports children's personal, social, emotional, physical and cognitive development. The curriculum is delivered alongside the UAE's Early Childhood Quality Frameworks, aligning practice with ADEK Early Years Standards and wider national priorities such as UAE Vision 2030 and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 4). Children are grouped by age into Babies, Toddlers, Early Learners and Foundation stages, with each group following developmentally appropriate activities that combine playing, learning and sharing. The nursery also partners with the Applied & Behavioral Training Institute (ABTI) to provide early intervention support for children with developmental delays, and offers extracurricular activities such as football, basketball, gymnastics, dance and martial arts for children aged two and above.
Age range: 45 days to 4 years
Kids Academy Nursery – Al Bateen organises children into four age-based groups that mirror the natural stages of early development. Babies (45 days to 1 year) explore small world play, early maths activities and supported mealtimes, while Toddlers (1 to 2 years) enjoy outdoor play, sensory exploration and circle time songs. Early Learners, aged 2 to 3 years, build on small world play, hands-on maths and group work, before moving into the Foundation stage (3 to 4 years), where open-ended play, phonics, reading, mark-making and collaborative problem-solving prepare children for the next stage of their education. Flexible half-day, extended-day and full-day packages are available, with early starts from 7:00am and late finishes until 5:30pm, Monday to Friday.
The Al Bateen branch is part of the Kids Academy family of nurseries in Abu Dhabi, designed to feel like a second home for young children, warm and calming yet vibrant enough to spark curiosity and imagination. Classrooms feature beautifully presented, open-ended materials that children can access as their interests develop, alongside creative studios for experimentation and quieter nooks for reflection. Higher-than-required staff-to-child ratios are maintained across all age groups, ranging from 1:4 for babies up to 1:10 for the oldest Foundation children, ensuring personalised attention beyond ADEK's minimum standards. The environment is intended to evolve with children's interests, encouraging them to choose, collaborate and take ownership of their own learning within a safe and nurturing setting in Al Bateen, Abu Dhabi.
