You may have heard us raving about Emerald City Nursery – a leading preschool in Jumeirah that caters to the needs of littles from the age of 2 months to 4 years in a space that feels much like a cozy boutique – with dedicated dining rooms, a computer learning centre, an outdoor performing arts space, rock-climbing wall and organic vegetable garden – they really do provide the full package! Well, this awesome little nursery is now offering 2 weeks of camp over Spring Break – including exciting adventures for kids combined with learning and achieving (disguised as fun and games!) in a safe and professional nursery environment that offers a holistic home-from-home. The ethos here is to provide kids with an organic and free-range early childhood that supports every little person with whatever love and encouragement they need to thrive – in surroundings that are eco-friendly and perfect for growing kiddos.
