Kid’s Island - the best place for children

When it comes to selecting a school or nursery for their children, all parents look for nothing but the best. They want the place to be safe and productive, the teachers and assistants to be qualified and experienced as well as kind and caring. They want their beloved children to develop self-awareness and social skills so they are ready for the more demanding requirements of school.

For anyone looking for a nursery in Dubai, Kid's Island Nursery at Villa 116, Al Hamra st (18d st) in the Jumeirah 3 area of Dubai is the obvious choice. Children aged between 12 months and four years will gain admission to Kid’s Island. And because of the high child-adult ratio (all classes have a qualified and experienced teacher who is supported by one or two assistants, depending on the class' age group), parents can rest assured that all their children are being looked after and that individual attention is being paid to each of them.

The British Curriculum (EYFS) being followed at the nursery school is a definite advantage for the expatriate children. The warm and nurturing environment provided for the tiny tots at the nursery help them build self-awareness and enrich their social skills, allowing them to reach their full potential.

Isabelle Amatoury is the brains behind Kid's Island which was founded in Dubai over 23 years ago. Her philosophy is that each child is unique and deserves an opportunity to experience the best possible start to education. She has over 32 years of experience in Early Years Education and applies her wealth of knowledge to the day-to-day operations of the school.

Isabelle, along with the dedicated and committed team, works tirelessly to ensure that the foundations for positive attitudes are established in a healthy, warm and nurturing learning environment as a result of years of carefully informed resourcing, through the adoption of a balanced and holistic approach.

As the school recognises that parents are the first educators of children, it has accorded a due place for parents also to interact closely with the school, encouraging their inputs, unlike some schools where they try to keep parents out. Parents are also given the additional option of early drop-off or late pick-up according to their convenience. Attendance options for children also vary - from two, three, four or five days per week depending on the age group.  Flexibility is a hallmark of Kid’s Island and these options are symbols of that flexibility.
