4 reasons why kindergarten education is important for your child in Dubai,UAE?

UAE is home to over 200 different nationalities and therefore immigrants make a huge percentage of the total population. The number of both parents working are on the rise in the country due to financial or career choices. According to the government statistics, UAE also has the highest female workforce in GCC with women constituting roughly 59% of the total labor force. So for families with young kids, parents often worry about who should look after their children after they head to work. According to the guidelines issued by KHDA, children must complete four years of age to be eligible for admissions in schools in UAE. So, parents are left to manage the kids for almost four years until they join school. While UAE-based families rely heavily on nannies or maids to look after the children at home, sending the children to nursery or preschool is very important until they join school for the following reasons:

1. Prepares children for school

When parents want to enroll their children in schools, almost all schools in UAE will schedule an interview with parents .The kids are required to undergo and pass the assessment tests in order to secure a place in the school and receive acceptance letter.

Kindergarten helps in developing the children’s physical and cognitive skills and this is where most kids learn to read and write. These skills acquired in the kindergarten will help them to adapt to new environment easily and make the transition to school easy.

2. Enforces play time

Preschools in UAE encourage and enforce age-appropriate play activities for children every day. They offer a warm and secured environment where the children can feel comfortable to explore and play and such dedicated playtime help kids to nurture their creativity and imagination.

Children also learn how to work in groups and improve their ability to focus and control their behavior. DaffodilsBarari Nursery has fun-filled and safe indoor and outdoor play areas that are fully childproofed.

3. Early identification of developmental delays

For most children, normal development occurs in a similar pace and they achieve particular skill sets by a certain age. Some children may not reach their developmental milestone at the expected time and such delays can occur in one of the many areas such as gross or fine motor skills, speech, language and social skills. Highly trained, qualified teachers and staff at the nursery can spot such delays early in infants and toddlers.

Such early detection and intervention will create awareness about the child’s condition to parents and the parents can start early treatment of specific therapies which will make a big difference in the progress a child can make.At DaffodilsBarari Nursery ,we have caring and supportive teachers and staff who are committed to loving and teaching each child and offer an environment which children will love to be a part of.

4. Encourages Speech and Language Development

Language and communication skills are very important for a child’s overall development and several activities will be planned in the kindergarten to foster such skills. Children also get an opportunity to learn new languages other than their native language and research proves that there are numerous benefits of learning a second language at an early age.

It improves the overall communicative ability, cognitive development and fluency. DaffodilsBarari nursery is multi-lingual and provides English,Arabic,French and Mandarin classes everyday with dedicated teachers for each language.

Listen to Larry Schweinhart, an researcher for early childhood program and policy change maker in the field of education throughout the US and around the world, talk about why investing in a high-quality preschool is critical for a child's development. He made this talk at the TedX event conducted at MiamiUniversity, USA.

To conclude, there are several advantages of sending the kids to nursery and those kids are better off at nursery rather than staying at home with nannies full time. And, for parents look for a nursery like DaffodilsBarariNursery which offers high quality integrated education and care for children in a safe and secured environment.
