At Sesame Street Private Nursery, we adopt a theme-based curriculum based on the accredited American Core Knowledge curriculum. This is an evidence-based curriculum that reflects best international practices in early childhood and child development. The Core Knowledge idea is based on a simple and effective principle: knowledge builds knowledge. The more a child knows, the greater their ability to learn. The curriculum is implemented within the nursery program in a way that includes all elements of modern international best practices in early childhood education.

By identifying the precise content that each child should learn in language arts and literature, history and geography, mathematics, science, music, and visual arts, the Core Knowledge curriculum represents the first effort of its kind to identify the essential knowledge every child needs. The curriculum includes the following:

Embracing Diversity and Celebrating Inclusion At Sesame Street Private Nursery, we believe that every child is unique and that diversity enriches our educational community. Our inclusive environment promotes kindness, respect, and understanding, ensuring that children from all backgrounds feel valued and empowered.

Physical Health and Development of Motor Skills, Movement, and Coordination Physical activity is an essential component of your child's growth and development. We use exercises, gymnastics, yoga, music, and dance to enhance coordination and overall health.

Social and Emotional Development, Independence, and Social Skills We consistently teach children etiquette, manners, and social skills to ensure they develop into loving, caring, and cooperative children.

Learning Approaches and Work Habits Teaching children good work habits from an early age helps them acquire time management skills and lifelong rule-following.

Language Development and Literacy Skills Through daily circle sessions and various activities, children learn phonics sounds and begin to recognize text and the written word.

Nursery Rhymes, Music, Rhythm, and Drama Music is one of the most important means that helps children recognize words, sounds, and rhythms, enhancing coordination and critical thinking skills.

Story Time, Reading, and Storytelling Reading and storytelling are practiced daily, helping children develop language, imagination, and creative thinking.

Basic Math Skills, Numbers, Colors, Shapes, and Sizes Counting, sorting, measuring, and pattern skills are reinforced through a range of activities and exercises.

Scientific Exploration Children learn how things work and explore the world around them.

Creative Arts Molding, drawing, sculpting, and collage allow them to practice free expression and enter the world of arts and crafts.

Arabic Language, Culture, and History The Arabic language program is designed to immerse children in the UAE's language, religion, history, culture, and heritage. Children interact in Arabic classes by learning language basics, songs and stories, UAE history, Arabic music, food, clothing, traditions, and culture. We make learning Arabic fun and engaging. Islamic education is also taught to Muslim pre-kindergarten children.

Nurturing a Greener Future We believe that teaching sustainability from an early age helps shape responsible and environmentally conscious individuals.
