Nursery Director describes the Clever Hands Nursery Abu Dhabi philosophy and experience… The Clever Hands Nursery Abu Dhabi has been specifically designed to meet the needs of the children it cares for, including their physical, developmental and emotional needs. Our aim is to combine the best of the home environment with the best of the nursery environment in order to create a space in which your child can grow, learn and develop his/her full potential. When I designed the nursery, I did so with my own children in mind, applying both my personal experience as a mother and my professional expertise gained from working as an educator. This is the base on which Clever Hands Nursery Abu Dhabi was founded and it will continue to operate to that extremely high standard. The human senses are a wonderful gift, allowing us to explore, interpret and understand the world in which we live. In order to learn fully, we must experience fully, which means we must engage all of our senses. When we do this, we take learning to a new level. We proceed beyond merely seeing and hearing in the classroom to touching, holding, exploring and investigating with our hands. As the name of our nursery indicates, this is the approach we take at Clever Hands Nursery Abu Dhabi – we encourage our children to explore their world fully. We don’t show the children an apple and say ‘apple’ – that would teach only one element. Instead, we hand the apple to the children so they can touch it, smell it and taste it and make all the connections between the word ‘apple’ and the object itself. This is the Modern Montessori method of nursing and it promotes broad and constructive learning. At Clever Hands Nursery Abu Dhabi this approach is combined with the Starfall curriculum, which produces a unique and stimulating learning environment for the children. Together, we learn about the world and journey through the experiences of learning!Welcome to Clever Hands Nursery Abu Dhabi!
