About this nursery
Odyssey Nursery - Khalifa City in Abu Dhabi offers a nurturing and stimulating environment for young children, following the world-renowned Reggio Emilia approach. This educational philosophy views children as curious, capable, and full of ideas, with learning guided by their interests rather than rigid lessons. Educators, referred to as Guides, observe, support, and extend each child’s discoveries, fostering creativity, confidence, and a lifelong love for learning. The nursery caters to a wide age range, from babies aged 3-12 months, through toddlers (1-2 years) and preschoolers (2-3 years), up to children in Foundation stages (3-4 years and 4-6 years). The Reggio Emilia approach at Odyssey emphasizes active participation, with children learning to think critically, express themselves, and solve problems with confidence. The environment itself is considered a "third teacher," intentionally designed to inspire exploration and wonder. Parents are viewed as partners in their child's educational journey, encouraged to be involved and share observations. Odyssey Nursery provides daily updates with photos and reports directly to parents' phones, ensuring they are always informed about their child's growth and development. Beyond academics, the nursery focuses on holistic development, offering specially designed meal plans that support focus and learning, while encouraging good eating habits and curiosity about nutrition. An afterschool care program is available until 6 PM, designed to continually stimulate children's minds and maximize their learning potential. The nursery aims to create empathetic adults by fostering social play among a diverse range of students, helping children develop crucial emotional building blocks. With a commitment to personalized guidance at each stage of development, Odyssey Nursery - Khalifa City prepares children for future success and a smooth transition to "big school." Many parents praise the dedicated staff, safe environment, and the significant development their children achieve.

My experience taking my daughter to this nursery has been amazing. The staff is so careful and lovely. She is happy. I feel peace and safety to leave my child here. Also, she is developing so well. My big thank you to Mrs Gayatri and Mrs Mavrick for taking care so well of her.

I’m so happy with our experience at Odyssey Nursery – Khalifa! The staff is warm, caring, and truly dedicated to each child’s growth and happiness. The environment is safe, clean, and full of engaging activities that help kids learn and have fun at the same time. My baby has developed so much confidence and new skills since joining, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a nurturing and professional place for their little one!

As a parent, I can tell you the Odyssey Nursery, Khalifa City branch is one of the best nurseries based on my own experience as I enrolled my three children there starting with the eldest in 2016 all the way down to my youngest; the teachers are really friendly and the staff is extremely qualified.

Sending my son to Odyssey Khalifa City A was one of the best decisions I made. He was placed in the 2-3 year group class Mangroves and I couldn’t be happier with the wonderful team in charge of the class, especially the absolutely brilliant teachers - . Ms. Lamia and Ms. Rasha, and also the class assistants Ms. Romela, Ms. Juliet, Ms. Jo and Ms. Jean, who all supported my son so lovingly during the past year. It has been joyful to watch my son develop and grow in all aspects after joining Odyssey and blossom into a child who loves and looks forward to going to school everyday. As a parent, it is deeply fulfilling to see your child’s genuine happiness and pride in being a part of his school, and this can only be possible with a truly amazing team of staff that the school has. It is with a heavy heart that I move my child to big school leaving nursery behind, but I am so grateful to Odyssey for preparing him for big school by laying such a strong and happy academic foundation and love for learning. I wish all success to everyone at Odyssey Khalifa City A and couldn’t recommend this nursery enough to any hesitant parents.
