We are incredibly grateful for the wonderful experience we’ve had at Jebel Ali Village Early Childhood Centre. From the very beginning, the school has provided a warm, welcoming, and nurturing environment where our child feels truly happy, safe, and excited to learn every single day. A heartfelt thank you to Ms. Nadia, Ms. Joan, and Ms. Sarah—their kindness, patience, and dedication have had such a positive impact on our child’s early development. Their approach to teaching goes beyond academics—they foster curiosity, creativity, and confidence in each child, and it shows in how much our child has blossomed under their care. The curriculum is well-balanced, offering a wonderful mix of play-based learning, social interaction, and skill-building activities. It’s clear that the staff put thought and love into everything they do—from the daily routines to the creative projects and special events. We especially appreciate the strong communication from the school. Being kept informed and engaged with our child’s learning journey through regular updates, photos, and feedback means so much to us as parents. Choosing Jebel Ali Village Early Childhood Centre has been one of the best decisions we’ve made for our child’s early years. We highly recommend it to any parent seeking a caring and enriching foundation for their child’s growth.

I had the pleasure of enrolling my son in this nursery, and from the very first day, I had the chance to speak with Ms. Maria, his teacher, who was truly attentive and open to discussion. We talked about the areas where my son, who hadn’t yet turned three, could improve emotionally and educationally. Right away, I knew this was the right place for him. After visiting three other nurseries, I chose this one, and I haven't regretted it for a second. My son has truly flourished here, and we noticed his progress and development every single day. This wouldn’t have been possible without the dedication of Ms. Maria, the support of the amazing assistant team, and the rich and varied program offered. My son, who used to refuse to go to nursery, quickly became excited to attend, made new friends, and enjoyed countless wonderful moments. As the school year comes to an end, I feel even more emotional than he does. Seeing how far he’s come is incredibly moving. I’m deeply grateful to the entire teaching especially Ms Maria and administrative team always kind, caring, and professional. I highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a warm, supportive, and enriching environment for their child.

My son spent almost 3 amazing years at Jebel Ali Village Nursery in Discovery Gardens, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the experience. From the very first day, the nursery felt like a second home — warm, welcoming, and full of love. The staff are truly exceptional — from the caring and dedicated manager Ms. Sonal to the wonderful teachers, assistants, receptionist, and nurse — every single person works with genuine passion and heart. Their dedication goes beyond just teaching; they nurture, listen, and support every child’s unique needs with so much patience and love. The nursery always celebrates every occasion with enthusiasm — Easter, Christmas, UAE National Day, Eid, Ramadan, and many more. My son always came home excited and happy, full of stories and new things he learned. The memories he made there are so special that he still talks about the nursery and asks to visit — which we have done even after he moved on to school! The facilities are excellent — super clean, well-organized, and very child-friendly. Parents are kept informed every single day, and the communication is outstanding. As a parent, I always felt heard, supported, and confident that my child was in the best hands. I highly recommend Jebel Ali Village Nursery to any parent looking for a nurturing, fun, and high-quality early education experience for their child. It truly is a gem in Discovery Gardens!
