In addition, we offer a variety of extracurricular activities, and we are open all year round, providing exciting holiday camps during the academic breaks. On Saturdays and afternoons we offer specialised language programmes to support native language development, and provide opportunities for children to start a second or third language at the very best time in terms of language development.

For over 10 years we have been blessed to have more than 350 happy graduates, all of them entered into the finest Dubai international schools.

Our team of devoted professionals are well educated and experienced. Our classrooms are bright and spacious, with many carefully planned educational resources. We have a roomy gym for indoor sports activities and indoor playground, which is so important during the hot Dubai summers, offering a much needed space for children to move and play freely.

The very beginning

  • Emotional Wellbeing

    In the first year of life, a child’s emotional wellbeing is built on feeling safe, loved, and connected to their caregivers. Warm, responsive interactions—such as being comforted when upset or smiled at during play—help the baby develop trust and a sense of security. These early experiences lay the foundation for healthy emotional regulation and future relationships.

  • Early Communication

    Growth in attention, listening, and first responses through eye contact, sounds, gestures, and simple words. A gentle tone of voice, calm pace of speech, and a loving attitude are key to supporting this process.

  • Physical Development

    Development of core strength and coordination (rolling, sitting, crawling, standing), alongside sensory exploration. We make sure that environment is supporting and answers the needs of physical development.

  • Curiosity

    Babies begin to notice, explore, and respond to their surroundings, showing early curiosity and interest in learning. We ensure the environment is rich in resources to nurture this curiosity every day.

First steps in social development

  • ⁠Emerging Independence & Self-Care

    Toddlers begin to show autonomy by feeding themselves, making simple choices, and trying things on their own. We provide support when needed while encouraging growing independence and self-confidence.

  • Language & Communication Growth

    Toddlers experience a rapid expansion of vocabulary, begin to use simple sentences, and increasingly express their needs and feelings. We nurture this growth through constant interaction: talking, singing, rhyming, asking simple questions, and offering many simple, supportive responses.

  • Social Awareness & Relationships

    Children begin to engage in parallel play, show awareness of others, and start to share or take turns with support. We guide them in making friends, sharing, playing together, and using appropriate language—the beginning of a lifelong journey in social development.

  • Physical Development & Coordination

    Children continue to develop mobility through walking, climbing, and running, while improving fine motor skills such as stacking, using utensils, and scribbling. At Paddington Park, we support movement by providing ample time and space for active exploration.

Growing confidence

  • Increasing Independence & Self-Confidence

    Children start managing personal tasks like dressing, feeding, and tidying up, and begin making simple choices. At Paddington Park, we encourage independence while offering support and guidance when needed.

  • Enhanced Language & Communication

    Children form longer sentences, ask questions, follow simple instructions, and start to express ideas, thoughts, and feelings more clearly. We foster this through conversations, storytelling, singing, and responsive interaction.

  • Developing Social & Emotional Skills

    Children engage in more cooperative and imaginative play, take turns, share, and show growing awareness of others’ feelings. We support them in forming friendships, resolving minor conflicts, and understanding emotions.

  • Advanced Physical & Motor Development

    Gross and fine motor skills progress through climbing, running, balancing, drawing, and manipulating small objects. We provide plenty of space, activities, and opportunities to strengthen coordination, confidence, and control.

Foundations of learning

  • Early Literacy & Communication

    Children begin to recognize letters, develop early writing skills, and express ideas clearly in speech. At Paddington Park, we introduce “Education Starts Here” activities, supporting early writing through fun, hands-on exercises and storytelling.

  • Emerging Numeracy & Problem-Solving

    Children explore simple math concepts like counting, shapes, and patterns. We encourage this through playful activities, practical problem-solving tasks, and interactive games that make learning meaningful.

  • Curiosity & Early Science

    Children show interest in discovering how things work, exploring nature, materials, and simple experiments. We nurture this curiosity with guided exploration, sensory activities, and age-appropriate experiments.

  • Social Skills & Emotional Development

    Children participate in cooperative and imaginative play, manage emotions, take turns, and develop empathy. We support these skills through group activities, role-play, and guided discussions about feelings.

  • Physical Development & Coordination

    Gross and fine motor skills continue to advance through climbing, running, drawing, and manipulating tools or toys. At the nursery, we provide ample space, equipment, and activities to strengthen coordination, confidence, and control.

Confidently prepared for school

  • Early Literacy & Writing Skills

    Children read simple words, write short sentences, and communicate confidently in speech. At Paddington Park, our “Education Starts Here” program strengthens writing and reading through guided activities, storytelling, and creative exercises.

  • Numeracy & Problem-Solving

    Children work with numbers, shapes, patterns, and simple calculations, developing logical thinking. We provide playful math challenges, counting games, and practical problem-solving tasks to make learning engaging and meaningful.

  • Scientific Exploration & Curiosity

    Children explore cause and effect, nature, materials, and simple experiments, asking questions and seeking answers. We encourage curiosity through hands-on science activities, investigations, and outdoor exploration.

  • Arts & Creative Development

    Children express themselves through drawing, painting, music, dance, and imaginative play, developing creativity and self-expression. At the nursery, we provide rich opportunities for art, music, and role-play, nurturing creativity alongside learning.

  • Social, Emotional & Cooperative Skills

    Children manage emotions, show empathy, cooperate in groups, and develop leadership skills. We support social development through teamwork activities, role-play, and guided discussions, preparing children for school life.

  • Physical Development & Coordination

    Children refine gross and fine motor skills, including balance, coordination, drawing, and cutting. We provide enough time, space, and activities to enhance control, confidence, and overall physical readiness for school.
