BUTTERFLIES
NURSERY and day care centre, situated in the
heart of Umm Al Quwain has been established
to meet the needs of today's children. Butterflies
is a home away from home with a happy, caring
atmosphere. "Butterflies"
has been beautifully designed to provide quality
care and education in a safe and stimulating
environment.
The
name speaks for itself... Yes! The colours, the
vibrancy and the freedom that is attached to the
name is something that has made our nursery a class
apart. Butterflies Nursery is a place where love,
warmth, security, education, fun and happiness all
merge.
We
encourage learning through the play way method.
We mould and nurture every child's potential and
instill laughter and creativity, helping them to
be the very best. We give them the finest facilities
to encourage talent. We ensure that they get a balanced
education, alongside students of other nationalities
thereby fostering mutual respect and enabling them
to become global citizens.
Our
System
The
nursery has a unique blend of English and Arabic
education. The children are grouped according to
age as follows:
The
Baby Section provides care for babies
from the age of 3 months to 'walking stage'. To
ensure your baby's emotional stability and happiness
we will follow as closely as possible, the routine
already established at home. Not only for meals
and sleep but also the ways your baby prefers
to eat,rest,sleep times but also the ways your
baby prefers to eat, rest, sleep or play. It is
these smaller details that are so important in
making it a real home away from home. A multi
sensory environment provides a stimulating foundation
for all areas of development and our dedicated
and experienced nannies will provide love, comfort
and security ensuring the very best care for your
baby in every way.
A
record of your baby's day will be kept so
as to keep you fully informed. We enhance
your baby's environment with soft toys,
colourful books, and music. This warm and
caring atmosphere will promote their healthy
development.
Toddler
classes provide care for children from
the 'walking stage' to 2 years.
Children in the toddler group are encouraged to
become more mobile and independent through the
use of toys and activities that are specifically
designed for this age group. Toddlers are beginning
to think through their actions, solve problems,
and understand language. They thrive on new experiences,
so we provide them with a safe, nurturing environment
that allows each child to develop naturally, individually,
and happily. Weekly progress and activity reports
will be sent home.
The
Nursery Section (N1)cares
for children between 2 and 3 years of age. Your
two-year old is ready to explore and discover
the world around him or her. We spark your child's
sense of discovery by providing a colourful, enriching
environment that offers a wide variety of educational
toys and materials. We encourage purposeful play
as an important tool for learning during these
early years. Children have many opportunities
to develop their hand eye co-ordination and manual
dexterity skills through the use of puzzles and
constructional toys. A variety of activities will
be introduced, to ensure that children learn basic
skills such as shape and colour recognition etc.
Because your two-year old is learning words so
quickly and beginning to express thoughts, we
use activities like reading books aloud, nursery
rhymes, and songs to expand your child's language
skills. A fun, safe atmosphere filled with self-directed
activities gives your child the independence he
or she is so eager to enjoy and helps prepare
your child to make the transition into preschool.
The
Foundation Year (N2)
provides care for children aged between 3 and
4 years of age.
As this is the year before your child starts formal
education, the day has more structure. We cater
to provide a curriculum which ensures a complete
learning experience for each child through a play
way method. Although expectations are higher we
never forget the importance of providing a caring
and fun atmosphere with an emphasis of individual
development and growth. As we are aware that many
children joining the foundation year have just
turned three, our emphasis is still on a relaxed,
flexible and caring atmosphere, where we continue
to work in partnership with parents to provide
loving care.
Our
structured approach to both learning and play ensures all round development and encourages
children to reach their full potential. Our goal is to prepare your child for the educational
challenges they will face as they continue to develop. Meeting their needs as early as
the infant stage will greatly promote understanding and enjoyment of schooling throughout the
years to come. Our activities help develop the motor co-ordination, enhances the cognitive
and psycho-motor skills in the child. We work to make certain that each student leaves with
a confident approach to life, an enquiring mind and a generous heart…………
