Emirates Hills Nursery, we dedicate ourselves to the joyful task of helping children develop independence, self-discipline and respect for self, for others and for the Earth.Emirates Hills Nursery offers a curriculum based on the philosophy of Dr Maria Montessori, who believed that the purpose of formal education was to “learn how to learn”. This means that we:Allow children to make choices for their own learning, thus encouraging independence and self-initiative.Respect each child’s uniqueness and in turn inspire each child to develop to his/her full potential.Provide an atmosphere that nurtures an early enthusiasm for learning and develops a strong work ethic.Allow plenty of uninterrupted time for the children to work with the materials in their own unique way, independently or in small groups.Foster children’s curiosity and creativity by empowering them to ask questions, try new ideas, and think for themselves.We offer a non-competitive, warm learning environment where children are always encouraged to do their best. Each child is measured only against his/her own progress. We encourage children to complete their activities rather than compete with others."A child's inner life is nourished by an environment warm with love." - Dr. Maria Montessori
