We have been living in unpredictable times these last few years. A part of the process of staying healthy in these times was putting some of the things we love on hold while we figured out how to do them in a way that keeps the children’s safety at the heart of what we do.
As the world adjusts to this new normal, we can start to rejoice as former regular practices in the nursery return. And one of these things is the mingling of different age groups.
Not only do older children tend to enjoy interacting with and guiding the younger ones, but the younger ones take so much joy in getting individual attention from older children and learning from them.
It helps children to socialize and use their communication skills to share, take turns and negotiate in their play, as well as help them to learn to collaborate and cooperate with each other!
These skills can be fostered by adults too, don’t get us wrong - though, we all know there is nothing cooler than the big kids when you’re small. It helps introduce new ways to grow,
develop and build upon the idea of the entire nursery being one big home-away-from-home.
They learn from one another and cherish their time together, whether it’s new friends or old, siblings or cousins. There is always some special moments to be shared - together! #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.
