Odyssey Nursery - Al Zeina (Formerly Yellow Submarine Nursery)

Odyssey Nursery - Al Zeina, formerly known as Yellow Submarine Nursery, is a leading Reggio Emilia inspired early learning centre located in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Situated in the Al Zeina area, the nursery is dedicated to nurturing imaginative young minds and fostering a lifelong love for learning. The Reggio Emilia approach, adopted by Odyssey Nursery, views children as curious, capable, and full of ideas. Learning is guided by the child's interests, with teachers acting as co-learners and guides. The environment itself is considered a 'third teacher', intentionally designed to inspire exploration and free thinking. This approach helps children develop critical thinking skills, express themselves confidently, and build strong social-emotional skills through collaboration. Odyssey Nursery caters to children aged 3 months to 6 years, offering a personalised approach at each stage of development. The age groups include Babies (3-12 Months), Toddlers (1-2 Years), Preschool (2-3 Years), Foundation (3-4 Years), and Foundation 2 (4-6 Years). The curriculum focuses on hands-on learning, encouraging creativity, and developing empathy through social play. Daily child updates, including photos and reports, are provided to parents via phone, ensuring a strong partnership. The nursery also offers healthy and quality food, with planned meals to develop good eating habits. An afterschool care program is available until 6 pm, providing continued stimulation for children's development. Odyssey Nursery - Al Zeina is committed to providing a calm, beautiful, and intentionally designed learning environment that nurtures wonder and supports children in reaching their full potential. Parents are considered partners in the educational journey, with opportunities to share interests and observe their child's portfolio.
