Kid's Island Nursery opened in 1991 to educate children while enabling them to cherish nature. The nursery offers an eco-conscious British Curriculum woven with The Inspire Philosophy to create a unique learning pathway that inspires a sense of wonder. The Inspire Philosophy makes learning fun for inquiring minds through which they learn and interact with their surroundings.

Kid's Island Nursery's academic calendar runs from September until late June/early July.

Kid’s Island Nursery and Preschool is established in a villa in Jumeirah. The villa's inside is designed so that the natural elements, open-ended resources, and loose parts enhance the indoor learning environment and ignite the children’s imagination. Resources and materials are carefully positioned to provide an attractive yet practical play space to spark a deeper level of interaction and engagement.

The outside of the villa is set in a way that encourages and provokes children to engage in physical pursuits such as jumping, running, carrying, pouring, sorting, throwing balls and balancing. In addition, loose parts and natural elements such as soil, leaves, seed pods and homegrown vegetables are merged into the environment to enhance the learning experiences.

Kids Islands in Dubai facilities are divided into two parts. The first part, called Indoor Explorer, include creative studio, gym room, role play area and sensory studio. The other part, called the Outdoor Detectives. include a mud kitchen, discovery deck, nature’s kitchen, learning terrace, marhaba garden and nature zone. This part allow little ones to push their physical boundaries and lead to adventurous play.

Kids Palace Nursery is located in Villa 101, Al Zoubaidi street, Jumeirah 3.

Kid’s Island Nursery is a popular choice among parents for their little ones. Only a handful of nurseries try to teach and groom children under a unique curriculum. Where most schools lean towards an international curriculum, Kid’s Island developed the Inspire Philosophy. All this has made it one of the top nurseries in Jumeirah.

The Inspire Philosophy is a unique, modern, progressive, nature-infused learning style. It is integrated into the British curriculum to provide a thought-provoking experience to encourage exploration and discovery. Kids Island Preschool is the first institute in Dubai to introduce this approach to the expat community.  

Apart from the unique curriculum, the nursery collaborates with third parties for extra-curricular activities that focus on fun and enjoyment, have a purpose and allow children to continue their education informally.

Outstanding facilities allow students to express their understanding of the world openly. The facilities provide a platform to complete a task and intrigue and engage children in numerous activities. 

Moreover, school affiliations are another factor that comes into play when choosing a nursery for your child. Kid’s Island Nursery students have priority placement in reputable schools in Dubai, such as Hartland School and Dubai Heights Academy.

Another positive aspect of Kid’s Island is that it is situated in one of the popular communities of Dubai, making the nursery accessible from several residential areas.

Kids Island Nursery in Jumeirah welcomes little ones as young as eight months until four years.

Kid’s Island Nursery is where strong relationships are formed, friendships are developed, and children are cared for. It allows children to engage in play activities, interact with peers and enhance their language skills. 

With The Inspire Approach, the nursery aims to spark curiosity and instil children's lifelong love of learning. The indoor learning spaces are enriched with natural elements, versatile resources and open-ended materials that ignite children's imagination. These resources are strategically positioned to create an attractive, practical play area that encourages deeper interaction and engagement. 

The nursery has an incredible range of facilities, where children can investigate, explore, question, and comprehend. Outside the classroom, the nursery offers challenging and captivating environments that push children's physical boundaries and encourage adventurous play. Children can run, balance, throw balls, jump, carry, pour, and sort, utilising their whole body to absorb information and learn new things. 

The Mud Kitchen, Discovery Deck, Nature’s Kitchen, Learning Terrace, Marhaba Garden, and Nature Zone provide endless hours of enjoyment for children as they explore, discover, and connect with their surroundings. Loose parts and natural elements such as soil, leaves, seed pods, and homegrown vegetables are incorporated into the environment to enrich the learning experiences.
