Reggio Emilia-inspired nurseries nurturing creativity and independence
Odyssey Nursery is a group of Reggio Emilia-inspired nurseries in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, run by Kids First Group. Children direct much of their own learning through projects, sensory play and many forms of expression, in calm spaces where natural and upcycled materials are used and the environment is treated as a 'third teacher'. The Reggio approach is combined with the Washington State Early Learning and Development Benchmarks to support physical, social-emotional, cognitive and language development and the move to school. Age groups run from 3 months to 6 years, with the final Foundation 2 year offered at Dubai branches only. English is the main classroom language, with French and Arabic taught as second languages and French-only classrooms also available. Each nursery has a nurse and on-site clinic, CCTV, planned meals, and daily photo updates for parents through the Educore app. Nurseries open 7:30am to 6:00pm, Monday to Friday, with an afterschool care programme.
Planned meals designed to build healthy eating habits.
Small class sizes in the pre-school years; Great Place to Work certified.

Thank you for everything we do for kids
My experience taking my daughter to this nursery has been amazing. The staff is so careful and lovely. She is happy. I feel peace and safety to leave my child here.
Odyssey Nursery, Khalifa City branch is one of the best nurseries based on my own experience; I enrolled my three children there starting in 2016. The teachers are really friendly and the staff extremely qualified.
The staff is warm, caring, and truly dedicated to each child's growth and happiness. The environment is safe, clean, and full of engaging activities.
