It is said that children are capable of learning more in the first five years of their development than at any other time in their lives. In order to do that, they must be given the opportunity to grow, flourish and learn in a nurturing environment, with an innovative curriculum- and that is exactly what is on offer at Redwood Nurseries in Abu Dhabi. Using the Montessori approach, the passionate teams at Redwood Nurseries take care of your child’s psychological, physical and social development, to ensure a solid foundation from which they can reach their full potential in the future.
What to expect from a Redwood Nursery
- There are 3 locations across the city: one in the residential Khalifa City A, one in the bustling Al Bateen, and another one in the lovely community of Saadiyat. While each one is true to the Montessori approach, they all welcome your child in their own unique way
- The nurseries use Feng Shui in their outdoor and indoor areas. Feng Shui refers to the flow of energy; each nursery’s environment is designed in a way that allows the children to make use of the pure and free energy within them
- Redwood Nursery Schools are private, purpose-built Montessori nurseries, and are the first of their kind in the region. Special architects and educators worked with the team to design a facility that includes all features and qualities needed for a nursery school
- Some key features of the facility include; spacious classrooms arranged carefully by a Feng Shui master, playing fields, age-appropriate play areas which have met all safety standards for outdoor play areas, a performing arts facility, a gym for indoor use and sports, a music and art room, as well as a library
- These nurseries are all about displaying achievement: each child is recognized, rewarded and encouraged to be the best they can be. All their pieces are displayed to show the little ones the meaning of hard work and for them to reflect on their talents and achievements
- At Redwood, they believe that a nursery is ‘the child’s environment’ not the ‘adult’s environment’ so there is nothing in the prepared environment that a child cannot see or touch, ensuring that each child gets the maximum benefits from all the Montessori materials. All of the furniture and equipment is scaled down to the child’s size and is within easy reach
- The nursery caters for working parents, and is open from 7:30 am to 6:00 pm.
- Each Redwood branch is enriched by a group of teachers and staff who are trained and qualified to deliver the Montessori philosophy to the little ones
- The process for vetting and hiring staff is strict, therefore ensuring your child is in the safest and best hands
- The nursery directors, Asima at Khalifa city, Samia at Al Bateen and Elizabeth at Saadiyat, are always available to answer any questions, take you for a visit of the nursery and help you and your child transition into nursery. You will feel right at home!
