Curriculum & Approach
Redwood Nursery follows an authentic Montessori method combined with the UK EYFS framework, encouraging children to learn by following their own individual interests. This child-led approach is intended to foster self-motivated learners who build academic foundations while developing independence and confidence. Classrooms are furnished with natural materials that support open-ended exploration and creative play, moving away from prescriptive instruction towards guided discovery. As children progress through the nursery's stages, they build gross and fine motor skills, verbal and language skills, early literacy and numeracy, and social skills such as courtesy, empathy and cooperation. The curriculum is structured around distinct developmental stages, with the pace and focus of learning adapted to a child's age and readiness, from sensory exploration in the baby room through to early reading, writing and mathematics as children near school age.
Ages & Programs
Age range: 3 months to Senior Nursery age
Redwood Nursery in Al Reem Island serves children from babies through Senior Nursery age, structured across stages that mirror key phases of early development. Babies aged around 3 to 12 months are supported with natural play materials and a calm environment to develop gross and fine motor skills. Toddlers explore an environment scaled and made safe for their independent discovery, developing verbal skills and early social interaction. In the Preschool stage, children take their first steps into reading and writing through concrete, hands-on materials, while the Foundation stage focuses on resilience, emotional intelligence, cooperation and readiness for the next step in their education. Each stage builds on the last, allowing children to progress through the nursery's N0 to Senior Nursery classes at a pace suited to their individual development.
