Your child's summer, sorted!
Starting to plan your summer days in Dubai in a way that suits the whole family... balancing play, learning, work, convenience, and commutes? Kids First Group have been around in the UAE for a long time and they have summer camps across all their nurseries.
If you’re in Dubai Marina, Willow Children’s Nursery is a go-to for families looking for a homey vibe. Those in Umm Suqeim, Al Wasl, or City Walk have three Odyssey Nursery branches to choose from. You can drop your child, grab your laptop and go cafe hopping in Jumeirah.
Families in Al Barsha or around the Dubai Hills community are loving Redwood Center of Excellence, complete with a parent lounge where you can comfortably stay for hours. Even better? Drop your child off and enjoy some stress-free summer shopping or errands at Dubai Hills Mall right nearby.
And for those living on The Palm, in Jumeirah Park, or Furjan, Redwood Montessori Nursery has popular branches right in your neighborhood.
You can book the days and weeks that suit your family’s schedule, and your child can even experience different environments and themes across our locations. Camps are open to children up to age 6 (even if they’re not currently enrolled) and offer a warm, nurturing setting filled with sensory play, creativity, movement, and socializing away from screens!
With smaller group sizes and in-house nurses, your child’s safety and wellbeing are always top priority, making this a far more enriching and comfortable option than crowded indoor play areas.
This summer’s themes include Fairytale Forest, A Trip Around the World, Creative Reggio Art Studio, and Story Explorers: Bringing Books to Life - ensuring your child is curious, engaged, and fulfilled every single day. Got an older sibling? They can join in the fun too!
