Dibber Nursery Sustainable City

The school is founded on a Norwegian pedagogical ethos that centers on the belief that 'everyone is valuable.' It employs a holistic approach to early childhood education, utilizing play-based learning to help children develop empathy, social confidence, and a strong academic foundation while becoming responsible global citizens.

The curriculum is based on a globally applicable Norwegian framework that focuses on holistic development across seven key areas: Society and Values, Language and Literacy, Math, Nature and Science, Creativity and Art, Motion and Health, and Play. Each area is supported by a 'learning friend' character to engage children in their development of critical thinking, motor skills, and social interaction. The school also incorporates the 'Dibber Meal' as a learning concept.

The school emphasizes a holistic approach to development, focusing on the emotional and social well-being of each child. Educators are trained to provide a warm, supportive atmosphere, with dedicated staff available to assist children during transition periods to ensure they feel safe and confident.

Prospective families can register their interest through an online form on the school's website to book a tour or request further information. The admissions process involves a registrar contacting the family to confirm a schedule for visiting the nursery.

The school maintains an academic calendar that is available for download on its website. It operates throughout the year, offering seasonal programmes such as spring, summer, and winter camps.

Located in The Sustainable City, the nursery operates across a two-building complex known as 'The Sustainable Pavilion' and 'The Sustainable City'. The campus features spacious, well-resourced classrooms and play areas, with access to greenfield spaces and a plaza for outdoor learning and nature-based activities.

The nursery provides various extra-curricular activities (ECAs) designed to foster teamwork, creativity, and physical development. These include outdoor team-building games like relay races, scavenger hunts, and collaborative art projects, as well as music and dance sessions.
