Dubai welcomes the phased reopening of nurseries
Nurseries in Dubai will be reopening in a phased manner starting with those in government premises and commercial buildings. Only approved facilities that have met all safety requirements are allowed to open the centres and move onto in-person learning.
Authorities have announced that they are taking a phased approach to reopening nurseries in order to ensure that each facility is ready to welcome children back safely. Nurseries will only be able to reopen once they have received prior approval and have met all the safety requirements set by authorities. They have also emphasized that it is the responsibility of all nurseries to adhere to health guidelines, such as proper sanitation, maintaining physical distance, and ensuring staff readiness. By taking a phased approach, authorities hope to reduce the risk of virus transmission while also ensuring that children can return to classroom learning.
Focous On Safety And Wellbeing Of Children
Prioritizing children’s safety and wellbeing for the return to nurseries The safety and wellbeing of all children is a priority as nurseries open up across the emirate. According to the Knowledge and Human Development Authority, nurseries must adhere to comprehensive safety measures when reopening, such as maintaining hygiene protocols, conducting health checks, and ensuring a safe environment for both children and staff. Authorities have assured parents that they are taking all necessary measures to keep children safe during this transition period. They have also emphasized the importance of creating an environment that is not only safe, but also comforting for children to return to after remote learning. By prioritizing both physical safety and emotional wellbeing, authorities hope to bring back confidence in families and ensure that education continues without compromising health standards.
Impact on families and day-to-day life Reopening to in-person learning will bring much relief to families throughout Dubai.
In recent weeks, parents have had to compromise between work and childcare as schools switched to remote learning. Nurseries reopening will bring much-needed routine and normalcy to families. Children will enjoy structured learning, social opportunities and guidance that would not otherwise be possible. Parents will also be able to return to their work life in a better manner. Authorities are confident that this step would enhance development of children and ensure the wellbeing of families, which would be the first and a very important step in the recovery process.
Return weeks after disruption of education sector in the region
Reopening to in-person learning comes after a period of uncertainty due to the tensions in the region, which led many nurseries and similar institutions to switch to remote learning. The move was everything but simple, but we are confident that it has helped us navigate this period. We don’t want to be complacent, so we’ll need to remain vigilant and adapt our measures if necessary. However, we are optimistic about the future of the education sector, and will continue to work with parents and teachers to provide the best learning environment possible for our youngest students.
