Little Land Nursery and Montessori Centre

In 1994, the doors of Little Land opened with just 8 children. Now, we have grown from strength to strength because we are tried, tested and trusted by parents.

We have a total of six classrooms, with three traditional nursery classes following the EYFS curriculum for children from 14 months old (and walking), and three Montessori classrooms for children from 2 ½ years old.

The three traditional nursery classes for children from 14 months old (and walking) up until 2 ½ years follow the EYFS curriculum. The children are taught in a traditional nursery environment with a schedule that includes play with traditional toys as well as introducing crafts such as play dough, painting and colouring. More physical activities include sand and water play, music and movement, brain gym and exploration of the environment.

EYFS UK based curriculum is broken down into 7 areas of learning:

1. Personal, Social and Emotional Development (PSED)
2. Physical Development
3. Communication and Language
4. Expressive Art & Design
5. Maths
6. Literacy
7. Knowledge and Understanding of the World (KUW)

Little Land is the most established Montessori centre in Dubai, it is for children who are over 2 ½ years old in September of the academic year. At Little Land there are three Montessori classrooms. Montessori is a system of Nursery, Primary and Secondary education devised by Dr Maria Montessori in the 1900’s. She developed a series of equipment and a method of teaching to maximise each child’s physical and psychological potential at any stage of their development. In the class the children are encouraged to complete activities once started and to take responsibility for their classroom. This is done in a child-friendly way. The Montessori classroom is divided into six areas: art, practical life, sensorial, language, mathematics and culture, which includes geography, nature and science.
