Curriculum & Approach
Stanford Nursery follows the UK's Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), the British government framework for the learning, development and care of children from birth to age five. The curriculum sets clear standards so that every child progresses at a pace suited to them, and it is delivered at Stanford Nursery Khalifa City by British-trained practitioners who adapt activities to each child's stage of development. Learning is organised around the seven EYFS areas of development: communication and language, physical development, personal, social and emotional development, literacy, mathematics-related understanding of the world, and expressive arts and design. Children build early listening and speaking skills, fine and gross motor coordination, letter and phonics awareness, and confidence to explore, imagine and create. Alongside the British framework, the nursery weaves in Emirati culture and heritage, with Arabic language development, national celebrations, traditional crafts, storytelling and the values of hospitality and respect helping children feel a sense of pride and belonging while also building global awareness. Teaching is built on learning through play: carefully planned, play-based activities allow children to explore, experiment and discover in a natural and enjoyable way, while teachers guide this play purposefully towards EYFS learning goals.
