Al Salam Nursery

Al Salam Nursery is a nursery in Al Twar, Dubai offering the International Baccalaureate, EYFS curricula. The school has a wonderful tradition and established itself on the educational map of Dubai many years ago. One of my aims is to build on the foundations that have already been established, as well as leading the journey of the school towards becoming among Dubai’s most highly reputed Schools for Foundation Stage and Primary Education.

Al Salam Private School is a very successful British Cambridge Curriculum School set at the edge of historic Dubai. Al Salam Nursery's learning environment enables successful learning to take place throughout the building, not just in the classroom. the nursery's FS and Key Stage One playground is a very effective outdoor learning provision, with students taking part in a variety of learning experiences, including water play, playing music on the nursery's music wall, getting ‘messy’ in the mud kitchen, drawing on the chalk walls and developing their strength and balancing on the climbing apparatus.

The ethos where ‘Every Child is Special’ is very evident and indeed I would extend this to the wider Al Salam community by insisting ‘where every person is special’ including all Staff and all Parents and family members as well. the nursery cares for all members of the Al Salam community and this is evidenced by the second generation of students attending Al Salam, a rare feat in Dubai. This is reciprocated by the nursery's contributions to the growth of Dubai and the UAE and being fully immersed in all the positive initiatives of the KHDA and the UAE.

Al Salam Nursery's commitment to ensure every child becomes a ‘lifelong learner’ is never more relevant than in this era of digital advancement, whereby skills and character are to be valued alongside academic achievement and ensuring that the nursery's students of determination will be provided with the support, accommodations and curricular modifications required to enable equitable access to educational opportunities. The preparation for future studies, work and making a positive contribution to society underpins all that is Al Salam.

The traditions and legacy of Al Salam established over three decades is something to be cherished and yet Al Salam is at the forefront of the latest developments in education both regionally and internationally.
