Dubai National School - Albarsha

KINDERGARTEN CURRICULUM

Dubai National School kindergarten curriculum reflects the learning standards outlined in the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks. Early childhood is a significant period in human development. It is when children begin to develop independence, initiative, decision-making ability, creativity, early literacy and numeracy skills, the ability to learn, the ability to relate to others, verbal communication skills, and feelings of self-worth. What young children learn at this stage will have a significant impact on successful learning experiences in school, personal development, and future participation in society.

We aim to assist children in learning and growing through hands-on exploration and play. We provide a well-prepared learning environment for children that correspond with their ability, interest, and individual learning style. These environments provide a safe, peaceful and nurturing experience where each child is encouraged to develop independence, respect, initiative, consideration, self-discipline and a lifelong love of learning.

Our kindergarten curriculum is designed to challenge children individually and give them many opportunities to explore, experience, and discover. Our teachers thoughtfully prepare the classroom environment to invite curiosity among children. Through child-initiated and teacher-directed learning experiences, children become better able to assess new situations and solve problems. There is a broader range of learning opportunities, through which students can make cross-curricular links.Through daily discussions, activities, and in-depth study, teachers guide children to develop self-confidence, enthusiasm for learning, respect and empathy, and learning readiness skills.

We at Dubai National School strongly believe in nurturing our culture and religion; the Holy Quran is introduced and learned on a daily basis.
