Hummingbird Early Learning Centre’s curriculum is based on the British Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). The nursery offers a nurturing and comfortable environment, where exploration and investigation of the world is encouraged through play. 

Hummingbird offers various sensory exploration opportunities at their campuses, including mirrors, treasure baskets, and soft plush toys. The baby classes incorporate playful interactions like songs and rhymes, as well as physical experiences such as bouncing, rolling, rocking, and splashing, both indoors and outdoors.

Hummingbird Early Learning Centre DAFZ, DIFC and Al Reem Island foster the development of language and communication skills by encouraging children to engage in conversations with their peers and teachers, sharing their observations, thoughts, and emotions. Children expand their vocabulary through storytelling, nursery rhymes, and singing songs. 

Additionally, through artistic and craft activities like painting and "messy play," children enhance their fine motor skills while also gaining the ability to recognize various materials, colours, and textures.

During the FS 1 phase, the curriculum focuses on promoting Language, Personal, and Social Development through four key areas of learning: Mathematics, Literacy, Knowledge of the World, and Expressive Arts. Teachers further plan activities based on the children's interests, which not only support their learning but also nourish independence and self-confidence.
