Step by Step Nursery

Step By Step Nursery was established in 1999 and has four campuses in Dubai. The educational and developmental programmes at the SBS Nursery revolve around the famous Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework and Reggio Emilia's approach. Step by Step Dubai Nursery enrols children aged six weeks to 4 years. All the campuses have modern indoor and outdoor amenities to support children’s development.

Step by Step Nursery offers children a safe and secure learning environment. Every campus has bright indoor and outdoor play areas with a sandpit. The classrooms have been carefully designed to stimulate learning while playing. The campuses have climbing and balance equipment to mainly work on kids' motor skills. At this age, children are quick learners, therefore teachers use drama and storytelling techniques in the library to make books come alive. This helps children improve their language skills and develop clear speech.

Step by Step Dubai has four campuses in Dubai in the following locations:

Step By Step Dubai follows a British education approach, combining the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework and the Reggio Emilia approach.

Step By Step Abu Dhabi follows a unique combination of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and Reggio Emilia's educational and developmental programme approach. It also has a specialised preschool curriculum enriched by language programmes to meet the linguistic needs of young learners.

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) is a well-known British framework used to help students adapt to the school environment. Unlike other rigorous curricula, it follows an informal approach based on play-and-learn strategies. As an EYFS nursery, it follows three prime and four specific areas of learning to prepare them for school.

Prime areas of learning are:

• Personal, Social and Emotional development
• Communication and Language
• Physical Development

Specific learning areas are:

• Expressive Arts and Design
• Understanding the World
• Literacy
• Mathematics

Reggio Emilia is a famous educational approach for children until six years old. It encourages independent learning. The goal is to create a cooperative and holistic environment, with teachers and parents as collaborators.
