Dibber Nursery The Sustainable City is an international early childhood centre in Dubai that integrates Scandinavian pedagogy with a world-class curriculum. It provides an eco-conscious, play-based learning environment for children aged 45 days to 6 years.

Teaching approach

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.

Programmes

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.
