Ms. Homaidan Baghdadi notes, "We want to give you the peace of mind only a parent can know." For children aged 14 months through 4+ years, this means a lot of freedom to explore, as this is how the brain learns best at that age.
The Reggio Emilia approach follows the natural development of the child and is based on the philosophy that learning must be meaningful to the student in order to be effective, and the best way to make it meaningful is by respecting the child's point of view and encouraging them to follow their own educational path.
There are four key principles in a Reggio Emilia school: children must have some say over what they learn; learning should incorporate all of the senses in order to be permanently absorbed; children should always be encouraged to interact with other children and explore the material world; and they should always be encouraged to express themselves and be given numerous opportunities to do so.
At Alphabet Street Nursery, parental involvement is both invited and encouraged, as this is another key principle in the Reggio Emilia approach. Many parents volunteer in the classroom and use the methods they learn there at home. Creativity is also encouraged and students learn through art, drama and other expressive activities.
The Reggio Emilia approach was founded in Reggio Emilia, Italy after World War II on the philosophy that the early years of development were the best time to help children figure out who they are as individuals.
Alphabet Street Nursery's highly trained and capable staff promotes an atmosphere of both nurturing and learning through this unique educational approach. As Ms. Homaidan Baghdadi states, "We try to offer both a caring and stimulating environment for children that will foster a love of learning in them that will continue through the later stages of their life." And It will be running a special summer activities starting on July. For more information on Alphabet Street Nursery Dubai or to arrange a tour, visit alphabetstreetnursery.com.
