Choosing a Nursery in Dubai

Whether you have recently travelled to Dubai or have been living here for long, one of the biggest decisions that young parents are faced with is choosing the right pre-school in Dubai for your young toddler.

We have seen how young children; toddlers and babies alike, cling to their mothers on the first day caused by separation anxiety. This is normal and expected of children as young as they are, when they enter nursery, due to the unfamiliarity of a new environment and people. Whether you have made the move to Dubai recently or have always lived here, looking for nurseries in Dubai to ensure your child safety, happiness and learning is at the best facility is important to any parent before they leave their precious little ones for the day.

There are certain factors you need to consider before deciding on the Best Pre-school in Dubai for you and your child. The curriculum that the school follows is vital and most important as it is the foundation that they will obtain and the system followed should help your child in their future higher education with other schools and syllabuses.

It is important that the school you pick, gives your toddler a broad spectrum of education and learning activities that helps in personal and academic growth. All aspects of your toddlers developmental criteria, should be integrated in the curriculum like, emotional, social, physical, and mental, while encouraging enthusiasm for learning and exploring.

Secondly, having a school follow a strict disciplinary boundary is important in cultivating morals and manners that will come in handy when moving to higher education and social environments. However, it is of utmost importance that any school when considered does not over step the parent’s authority nor should they scare your child into good behavior as children only misbehave when their required needs are not met.

The first five years of any child are most important and it is during this time that they discover their niche and their special talents and capabilities. It is therefore important to ensure that the nursery you pick, inculcates enthusiasm for self-discovery and progress.

One of the most important factors to consider when choosing a nursery for your child, is ensuring that you are involved and the school you pick, encourages your feedback and works with you as a team to improve your child’s progress made overall.

Last but not least, any nursery should encourage individuality, while maintaining a sound academic syllabus that is certified by international bodies, designed to ensure that no child is left behind in his work.

Children In Dubai

Raising children is a career path that not only we at the Kids Island Nursery Dubai undergo but you as parents do as well, every single minute of every single day. It’s a career that has no pauses, no breaks and one that requires you to be on the ball and ahead of the game all the time. Here are some educated tips brought to you by the Kids Island Nursery Dubai to assist you in your journey towards being an exceptional parent because your little ones mean the world to us as well.

As a parent or caregiver it is important that your child knows what you stand for. Having clearly defined morals and convictions have proven to assist in raising children who are more decided in their beliefs and better behaved as opposed to those raised by individuals who keep changing their minds about rules, regulations and on what’s right and wrong.  You can do some solid and quality parenting if you can have a clear definition of the virtues you want your child to possess the most and guide them towards reaching it so that they inculcate it without the need for much prompting later on.

When raising children it’s also important that you always provide them with a reason or sufficient reasoning behind all rules, regulations and behaviors that you expect them to adapt to in order to be well behaved no matter where they are. We say this because children at a very young age are more egocentric and selfish when it comes to sharing and even being boisterous during play. As an example; you can make them understand that sharing their toys for example will help to make someone else happy too and help them learn to gain happiness from other peoples happiness as well. 

Children in Dubai come from very diverse backgrounds and raising your child to be respectful of others beliefs along with having a stronghold on their own beliefs is a form of good parenting as well. In society we come across many individuals from varying backgrounds and knowing how to co-exist, strike up a conversation or be a good person in general to them will happen more naturally if your child is raised to understand the importance of co-existence.

Listening to your children’s opinions and views even if they are wrong is also a crucial part of good parenting in Dubai. Once your child has the option to speak out then it is up to you as a parent to provide sufficient guidance for them to reach the right decision. Children in Dubai and in anywhere else in the world for that matter need to be heard so that they can grow up and evolve in to being strong adults who are believe in themselves and their capabilities. Your encouragement and guidance as a parent is a sign of good parenting in Dubai because it is you who helps shape a young one in to who they have the potential to be for now and for the rest of their lives.
