Curriculum & Approach
Salam Nursery follows the EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) UK curriculum, providing children aged 2 to 4 years with a structured yet play based introduction to early learning. The approach is designed to build core skills and confidence ahead of a child's move into FS1 at Al Salam Private School. The nursery's programme reflects the wider Al Salam ethos, where every child is considered special and is supported to grow at their own pace. This includes an inclusive stance towards children of determination, who are supported to take part alongside their peers. As children progress through the nursery, they are gradually prepared for the transition into the Foundation Stage classes of Al Salam Private School, giving families a clear and connected pathway from the earliest years through to primary education.

Specific tuition fees for Salam Nursery are not published on the school website.

Admissions
Families interested in Salam Nursery begin with an online enquiry specifically for children aged 2 to 4, after which the admissions team makes contact to guide next steps. Prior to a scheduled assessment, parents are asked to share previous academic and behaviour reports along with Emirates ID or passport information. For nursery aged children, the assessment takes the form of a short, interactive session and play based observation or interview, designed to be warm and engaging rather than formal. There is a one-off, non-refundable assessment fee of AED 500 plus VAT, payable at the school on the day of the assessment. The school confirms within three working days of the assessment whether a place can be offered, and may request additional supporting documents. Successful applicants receive an offer letter, and enrolment is confirmed once the registration fee is paid; if no seat is available, the child's application is placed on a waiting list until one becomes free. As per the KHDA school fee framework, a re-registration fee is also payable after the spring break, which is later deducted against first term fees.
