KHDA-approved EYFS nursery in Dubai, founded in 1979, for 12 months to 5 years
Safa Early Learning Centre opened in April 1979 as Safa Kindergarten Nursery and New Safa Nursery, taking its current name in 2014. It is KHDA-approved and ISO certified, and follows the British EYFS for children from 12 months to five years, grouped into Toddlers I and II and Foundation Stage 1 and 2. Learning is through play in spacious, bright classrooms and a garden with sand play, gardening and quiet outdoor corners. FS children learn phonics through Jolly Phonics and multi-sensory maths, and FS1 and FS2 children have weekly swimming lessons during school hours. After-school clubs include soccer, karate, ballet and gymnastics. Educators are qualified to Early Childhood Education Level 3, assistants to Level 1, and all are paediatric first-aid trained. A registered nurse is on site, a doctor visits regularly, and parents receive daily updates through the Educore app.
