Curriculum & Approach
Redwood Nursery - Khalifa follows the UK EYFS framework alongside the Montessori method, combining structured early learning goals with child-led, hands-on exploration. Children are encouraged to follow their own interests, using natural materials and purposefully designed classrooms that support independence, curiosity and problem-solving. The Montessori approach underpins each stage of the nursery, from the earliest sensory experiences in the baby room through to pre-writing, early literacy and numeracy work in the older groups. Learning is paced to the individual child, with mixed-age interaction used to model cooperation, respect and leadership. Alongside academic foundations in reading, writing and maths, the curriculum places equal weight on social and emotional development, courtesy, empathy and self-image, preparing children for a confident transition into the next stage of their education.
Ages & Programs
Age range: 3 months to 6 years
The nursery organises children into stages that reflect key periods of early development. Babies are cared for in a calm, nurturing environment that supports gross and fine motor development, while toddlers move into a space scaled to their size to build independence and confidence as they learn to explore safely. In the preschool stage, children take their first steps into writing and counting using concrete, hands-on materials, alongside building a positive self-image and early social skills. The foundation stage focuses on readiness for school, developing emotional intelligence, cooperation, and foundational literacy and numeracy, with children progressing through the N0 to N4 and SN groupings offered at this Khalifa City nursery.

Care & Wellbeing
The nursery places importance on nutrition as part of children's overall development, with planned meals designed to support focus, learning and healthy eating habits. Children eat together, encouraging them to be curious about food and to try new things in a social setting. Parents receive daily updates on their child's activities, progress and milestones, sent directly to their phone with photos and reports. This ongoing communication is intended to keep families closely involved in their child's day even while they are at work. An afterschool care option is available for families who need care until 6pm, allowing children to continue their development and activities throughout the working day until collection.
Daily Schedule
Children move through the day within an environment structured around exploration, guided activity and rest, in line with Montessori principles. Meals are taken together as a group activity that supports both nutrition and social learning, while outdoor and indoor play periods allow for both physical development and quieter, focused tasks. For families needing extended hours, care continues through the afternoon until 6pm.
