Al Zain Nursery

ABOUT US The nursery years are of crucial importance as they prepare children not only for school, but for all their future learning experiences, this precious times are highly formative to a child development, which is why their experience should be happy, active, fun and safe. A nurturing environment and highly skilled staff are essential, as is a thorough programme-or curricula to guide and support each child development. This curriculum is based on the British Early Years Foundation stage (EYFS) programme and has been modified with additional components, such as Arabic language and Islamic culture and customs, to make it relevant to the unique circumstances of the international child. The basic building blocks of learning are play, curiosity, creativity, questioning and imagination. Through guided activities, children acquire the necessary levels of social, emotional cognitive and physical development to enable them to function as independently as possible in their surroundings. In addition to supporting the children, the curriculum also informs parents about the expected and actual stages of development of their child. Parents are always encouraged to participate in the learning journey which unfolds at the nursery and at home. For the teaching professional, the curriculum is an essential tool in the planning and assessment of each child’s learning. Proper training and ongoing professional development are essential to ensure that the curriculum delivers to the outcomes we all desire for the children.
