Established in 2018, this international preschool follows the International Preschool Curriculum (IPC), focusing on holistic development across physical, cognitive, social, and emotional domains. The nursery prides itself on its highly qualified and dedicated staff, holding degrees in Early Childhood Education, Psychology, or Sociology. They are proficient in English, with some being multilingual in Arabic, Swahili, Italian, French, Spanish, and Tagalog, fostering a truly diverse and inclusive atmosphere. The facility operates under the supervision of the Ministry of Social Development, Sultanate of Oman, ensuring high standards of child safety with CCTV monitoring, fire safety precautions, and first aid certified caregivers. At Little Explorers, learning is seamlessly integrated with play, offering endless opportunities for children to engage, explore, and discover at their own pace. The curriculum introduces core domains of learning through hands-on experiences, including literacy and maths in both English and Arabic, social and science tools, and creative arts.

    I searched for months to find a good nursery. Even though Little Explorers Nursery is far from our home, it was worth bringing my son here. The staff and teachers are very understanding, caring, and well-trained, and my son feels comfortable and happy. It was very important for me that learning is combined with play, and after visiting different nurseries, I realized that Little Explorers Nursery is truly the best choice.

    Remarkable experience thus far , very attentive to the kids and love the interactive sessions and monthly themes . I would have appreciated if Arabic is being introduced earlier . My daughter speaks and prefers English way more than Arabic. Discount to be proposed for renewal students and introduce more trips and external visits.

    In my opinion, Little Explorers is the best nursery in this area of Muscat. After searching for a nursery for my son, I tried another renowned nursery but was not satisfied. I decided to transfer him to Little Explorers, and I am incredibly happy with the decision. My son spent two years there, and the staff provided excellent care. He completed nursery and transitioned to school. Now, his little sister is enrolled in the nursery, and the care continues to be top-notch. I am genuinely delighted with the nursery’s management. The children are well-cared for, happy, active, and develop both socially and academically. My children learned a lot and thoroughly enjoyed their time at the nursery. They eagerly anticipate going every day, making it their second home. The school staff is highly coordinated and works collaboratively, creating a harmonious environment for both the children and their parents. I highly recommend Little Explorers to everyone. My children absolutely loved the nursery, and they flourished under the care of the staff. I am overjoyed with the experience.

    Both our daughters started Little explorers Nursery at 10 months old and have absolutely flourished with the care, love and support of all the staff. Everyday is an exciting new learning opportunity as well as a caring and calm environment. My daughters both love going every morning and talk excitedly about nursery at home. Little Explorers have made the task of being a working parent much easier as we know they are safe and happy throughout the day. The staff are all friendly and loving and know the children really well, they make sure everyone has opportunities to learn at their own pace. We couldn’t recommend it more, definitely the best nursery in Muscat.
