The curriculum focuses on developing fundamental skills by targeting the seven key areas of learning. Teachers have further enriched the educational programme with Reggio Emilia's approach and playing activities.

Phases	Ages Covered

Confident Explorer	3.1 years to 4 years old
Active Discoverers	4.1 years to 5 years old
Creative Achievers	5.1 years to 6 years old

Jumeirah International Nursery follows the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) education framework. It is a renowned British curriculum for early childhood education which aims to prepare children for school using a stimulated, fun and play-based environment. Teachers use informal, play-and-learn strategies to teach fundamental skills to students.

EYFS Principles

EYFS considers that each child has individual needs and grows independently. The EYFS principles are:

• A Unique Child - Each child is unique. Teachers observe children's development and learning behaviours and provide support accordingly.
• Positive Relationships - JINS staff fosters a sense of belonging by encouraging students to have positive relationships with teachers and peers.
• Enabling environment - Children thrive in an enabling environment with resources and opportunities.
• Learning and Development - Children play, learn and develop

EYFS Areas of Learning

EYFS has seven key areas of learning split into two broad categories: prime and specific.

The prime areas of learning are:

• Communication and Language - Children are placed in a language-rich environment where they express themselves by listening and speaking.
• Physical Development - The nursery allows children to remain active and healthy. Children develop as they play physically.
• Social, Personal and Emotional Development - The nursery focuses on children's emotional well-being, self-confidence, respect for others and willingness to learn.

The specific areas of learning are:

• Literacy - Children can access books and reading material for reading and improving linguistic skills.
• Numeracy - the nursery also teaches students to understand numbers, counting, basic mathematical operations, shapes, volumes and mathematical vocabulary.
• Understanding the World - Nursery focuses on building students' awareness of their surroundings, such as the latest technology, nature, geography, history and ICT.
• Expressive Arts and Design - Children learn to establish a connection and express themselves through music, dance and art.

Little Learners Curriculum

In this stage, the babies are encouraged to crawl and roll. The older babies about to enter the next step are taught to walk and feed themselves. Babies are curious learners. Therefore, JINS allows them to visit the outside garden and sensory playground. The Little Learners section has changing rooms so babies can sleep according to their parents' designed schedule. The children-to-staff ratio within the baby rooms is 1:3.

Curious Beginners Curriculum

Children entering the Curious Beginner stage are encouraged to participate in child-initiated activities. In this stage, the nursery builds language and fine motor skills to help children express themselves and move freely. Potty training is also given to children in this stage. By the end of this stage, most children become independent in routine tasks.

Inquisitive Adventurers Curriculum

Jumeirah International Nurseries believe children are most receptive to new information at this stage. Therefore, the nursery incorporates role-playing activities and independent learning within the educational programme. Children develop healthy and positive habits that will help them in school and the future. At this stage, the nursery also focuses on developing students' social skills through interactive music, assemblies, puppet shows and singing.

Confident Explorer Curriculum

In this stage, the nursery keeps children interested in learning and exploring freely. Free-flowing rooms are handy as children love to move and use their senses to explore and understand the world around them. The activities usually part of the educational programme for this stage of education include cooking, music, creative crafts and play-based activities in the outdoor play and messy areas.

Active Discoverers Curriculum

This is the last age group at Jumeirah International Nurseries, where children have many learning opportunities. The nursery offers personalised mathematics, literacy, expressive arts and design lessons and understanding of the world.

JINS periodically cleans its campuses and facilities, such as educational resources and toys.

It often carries out risk assessments to ensure the facility, learning tools and medical unit in all the branches are in optimal condition and can be used in time of need. Also, the centre has strict policies for administering medication to children only when prescribed by parents and their doctors.

The nursery partners with Baby Eats, which uses fresh and organic ingredients to prepare meals for the children. Jumeirah International also requests parents to pack a healthy balanced snack and lunch if their child is enrolled in the morning programme and an additional mid-afternoon snack/tea if they continue in the afternoon.

Several modes of communication exist at Jumeirah International Nurseries. The nursery arranges coffee mornings and parent workshops that allow teachers and parents to discuss the progress made by children. The parent workshop will teach parents skills and strategies to assist their child’s educational journey. 

The nursery also arranges parent activity days. Its official website details educational programmes, campuses, facilities, admission and fee info. The nursery is also active on popular social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp.
