Curriculum & Approach
Teddy Bear Nursery – Al Mushrif follows an American-style approach built around The Creative Curriculum, delivered alongside what the nursery describes as a Whole-Child Approach. This focuses on supporting children's social, emotional, intellectual and physical development in balance, rather than concentrating on academic skills alone. Learning is play-based and child-centred, with activities designed to encourage curiosity, problem-solving and independence. Children are given space to discover their own interests and personalities, with teaching staff guiding and extending their learning through purposeful, hands-on experiences in the classroom and outdoors. The curriculum is designed to build the skills and confidence children need for a smooth transition into primary school, with older age groups given increasing exposure to early academic concepts alongside continued play-based learning and social development.
Ages & Programs
Age range: 45 days to 4 years
Teddy Bear Nursery – Al Mushrif organises children into age-appropriate classes spanning the full nursery age range, from tiny babies through to children preparing for their move into primary school. The youngest children join Teddy Care, where gentle, individualised care is provided for infants in a safe and comforting environment. As children grow, they progress through Teddy 1 and Teddy 2 for toddlers, where play-based learning is used to build curiosity, communication and early social skills. Teddy 3 (Nursery/FS1) introduces more early academic concepts alongside continued social interaction, while Teddy 4 (Pre-K/FS2) focuses on school readiness, helping children make a confident and smooth transition into primary education. Families can choose from flexible enrolment options, including three or five days a week, with core sessions running from 8am to 2pm. Early drop-off from 7am and an extended day option until 5pm are also available to suit working parents.
