Ladybird Nursery was first established in Jumeirah in 1996 and opened its second nursery in JVC in 2016. The Al Barsha 3 campus will encapsulate Ladybird’s vision to create inclusive early childhood learning experiences, and the EYFS curriculum-based nursery incorporates the Montessori Approach that innovatively combines real-world learning outcomes - including hands-on learning with collaborative play in a classroom setting. The individualised teaching methodology focuses on the learning needs of every child, showcasing collaborative skills and self-confidence. Children work in groups and individually to discover and explore the knowledge of the world to develop their maximum potential. Preparing for school does not start within the few months before the child enters the classroom for the first time; it is a process that is developed gradually and is often misunderstood. Children cultivate language, literacy, physical development, and social and communication skills over time, while also learning how to manage their emotions and understand what is expected of them in terms of behaviour. They also learn about other children, adults and different cultures, so it is important that parents or carers give their children experiences that provide opportunities for them to develop a range of skills that will help them prepare for school. Parents can sometimes, perhaps through lack of understanding, expect teachers to instruct their children on basic needs such as going to the toilet independently. However, such skills cannot start to be learnt on the first day of school or in the few weeks before. Instead, it is a steady progression, with parents or carers working with their child to advance through the expected milestones of child development, which will support the preschooler in all the areas needed to be a confident, independent little learner.
