About this nursery
Odyssey Nursery, located in the family-friendly area of Umm Suqeim 2, Dubai, is a distinguished Reggio Emilia inspired institution dedicated to nurturing imaginative young minds. With a philosophy that views children as curious, capable, and full of ideas, Odyssey fosters a unique learning environment where independence and self-esteem flourish. The Reggio Emilia approach, adopted by Odyssey, emphasizes learning guided by the child's interests. Teachers, referred to as 'Guides,' act as co-learners, observing, supporting, and extending each child's discoveries. This approach sparks creativity, builds confidence, and cultivates a lifelong love for learning. The environment itself is considered a 'third teacher,' intentionally designed to inspire exploration and encourage free thinking. Odyssey Nursery caters to children from 3 months to 6 years old, offering specialized programs for different developmental stages: Babies (3-12 Months), Toddler (1-2 Years), Preschool (2-3 Years), Foundation (3-4 Years), and Foundation 2 (4-6 Years). The Foundation 2 stage, available in Dubai branches, includes a French immersion program aligned with the French curriculum. The nursery focuses on building critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and strong social-emotional development through collaboration and expression. They also prioritize creating empathetic adults by fostering social play among a diverse range of students. Parents are considered partners in their child's educational journey. Odyssey provides daily updates with photos and reports directly to parents' phones, ensuring they are always informed about their child's growth and development. The nursery also offers a healthy and quality food program with planned meals designed to develop good eating habits and support learning. An after-school care program is available until 6 pm, providing continued stimulation for children's developing minds. Odyssey Nursery is committed to a world-class early education, ensuring children thrive in a calm, beautiful, and nurturing environment. They are renowned for preparing children for admission into top schools, fostering a foundation for a lifetime of success.

We are incredibly grateful to our son’s nursery for their exceptional support and dedication during the challenging circumstances. Their ability to adapt quickly and implement an effective home schooling system made a significant difference for our family. The structure, consistency, and engaging activities they provided helped us maintain a sense of routine for our son, which was invaluable during such uncertain times. We truly appreciate the care, professionalism, and resilience demonstrated by the entire team. We couldn’t have navigated this period as smoothly without them.

We’re so grateful to Odyssey Umm Suqeim for the care and attention they’ve given our son with his transition into nursery. Even during this recent difficult time they’ve gone above and beyond with options so that our son is still able to progress and learn. Special thank you to the lovely Ms Eva, Ms Gina, Ms Fatima, Ms Larissa and Nurse Marion- we couldn’t be more thankful and love our Odyssey family!

Great nursery with an amazing program, staff, and space. They are also flexible with parents. But when they truly shined is how they stepped up and helped the parents and kids during the attacks in the gulf. They offered small groups sessions, and 1on1 at home service; this was a life saver for us because it was difficult to manage twins at home with 2 working parents doing remote work. The program has been amazing for our kids and for us. I highly recommend Odyssey!

The best decision we made was put our baby here ♥️. Unfortunately due to short maternity leave I had to put in nursery as good as 4 months :( and Miss Eva and Miss Gina made him feel at home and so loved. We are truly grateful for you and all you do ♥️. Other than that everything has been super smooth with the admin team. Larissa is so helpful and answers my 10001 questions 😂 Fatima the head of nursery is the best human out there 🙌

We’ve witnessed a remarkable transformation in our son since he joined Odyssey. He’s become more independent, curious, and expressive. What truly impressed me was the collaborative approach of the teachers. Instead of exerting control over the children, they foster a sense of partnership. It’s evident that they treat the children with utmost respect and empower them to think critically and explore their interests. As a father, this means the world to me. This isn’t just childcare; it’s a nurturing environment where real growth and development occur.
