One of the compliments we get the most about our nursery space is that it feels like a “second home”. As time goes on, we have started to reflect on that. Why does our nursery meet that lofty goal? One of the main aspects we have worked towards improving upon over the years is phasing out bright, neon and harsh colours. Colour is wonderful and has its place in a learning environment to expand upon children’s knowledge, idenfiticafion and understanding of colours. Though, the trend of nurseries washing the walls in bright yellow and blue, toys made in every colour under the sun - it seems to be fading away in the modern age. As we learn more about the psychology of children, it’s been found that too much colour in an environment can be overstimulating to the senses and therefore make it hard for children to focus and engross themselves in their play. And realistically, where else in a child’s life is there so much bright, busy colours in such a concentrated space? The way we have made our nursery speaks to children as it resembles their home! With small pops of more pastel colour, alongside calming neutrals and natural tones that we see in nature. It helps bring the outdoors indoors and bring a sense of warmth and calm to our indoor learning spaces.
This is how we do things, but there is no right or wrong way to approach the topic of tech. Life is all about balance, how do you find yours? #theinspirephilosophyAs an eco nursery in Dubai who has been established in Jumeirah for the last 30 years, we are honored to welcome the next generation of students into the Kid’s Island Nursery in Jumeirah family and it is rewarding to hear parents say “I remember what it felt like when I experienced this at the nursery for the first time”. It is important to cherish your warm childhood memories and even more important to create new ones with your child.
