Dubai Nursery Schools that Nurture a Child's Imagination


Most Dubai nursery schools boost a child's imagination through play and physical activities. A child's imagination can be enhanced and fostered by providing opportunities  such as exploring, problem solving, experimenting and discovering. Children with an enhanced sense of creativity view the world as their canvass with endless possibilities, opportunities and challenges. By encouraging and nurturing their creativity they can become future leaders and great thinkers, says an educator at the Children’s Nursery Dubai. 
 Here is a look at some creative ways to set the stage for your child's creativity,
  • Encourage the child to ask questions.
  • Provide a variety of opportunities for observing, exploring and expanding thinking patterns and processes.
  • Encourage the child to experiment with new ideas and play with new adventures.
  • Do things that gets them thinking. Encourage them to think about how they can do something better, other than the usual method. Ask them to break away from the ordinary pattern and come up with something unique.
  • Give a child time to think and come up with ideas.
  • Let the child come up with an alternative to create something by depriving the child of something.
  • Don't be critical or judge the child's efforts. Encourage the child to bring out his or her creativity without expecting any results or outcomes.
  • Turn off the TV and electronic games, they are an unnecessary distraction.
  • Allow the mess and let your child play with the dirt. Let them use their imagination with things. Like boxes being used as cars and sticks as a secret fortress. An eco friendly nursery in Dubai, will involve children in a lot of nature activities like hunting for bugs or collecting leaves, which gives children the ability to explore nature by getting in touch with their creativity.
  • Let the child take the lead, parents should just observe.
  • Listen to your child and answer their many questions.
  • Encourage and stimulate imaginary play. Let the child dress up in various costumes and pretend to be a prince of the princess. Let them enjoy pretend play.
  • Encourage them to read stories and make up an ending the way they want it to end. This is a great way to encourage them to read as well.
  • Ask questions that are stimulating and requires creative thinking.
  • Let your child be the center of the story or the activity.
  • Get the child to choose a word and begin a story making up things about the words.
 Some of the benefits of using creative play for children, 
  • The increased ability to solve problems.
  • A high level of self-esteem, confidence and self-fulfillment.
  • Ability to cope better with challenges and difficult situations.
  • Ability to become future creators and innovators.
The Kindergarten in Dubai focuses on developing a child's imagination by exposing them to the same environment to play, helping them create and build on what they have. If they are constantly given new things, they will not develop their imaginary skills or their creativity.
