Crayons Nursery Dubai begins construction in Nad Al Sheba, offering bilingual, play-based early education with global best practices.
Dubai: Crayons Nursery Dubai has officially broken ground in Nad Al Sheba 1, marking a significant step forward in early childhood education. Set to open in May 2026 for toddlers and in September 2026 for FS1 and FS2, the purpose-built nursery blends global best practices to create a safe, stimulating environment for children aged 45 days to five years.
A bilingual programme in English and Arabic, inspired by EYFS, Montessori, and Finnish pedagogies, will foster play-led learning and emotional development. The new campus will accommodate up to 200 children, offering a nurturing setting where young learners can grow intellectually, emotionally, and socially.
Speaking at the groundbreaking event, Chief Guest Abdulla Mohammed Al Awar, CEO of the Knowledge Fund Establishment, joined education leaders, investors, and families in celebrating this milestone.
Crayons Nursery Dubai is the joint vision of Nalapad Investments and MVK Holdings. “Every child deserves a beginning where their curiosity is honoured,” said Abdulla Nalapad Ahmed, Managing Director of Nalapad Investments. “We are building more than a nursery. We are shaping the early years of tomorrow’s innovators and leaders.”
Aligning with KHDA’s Education 33 vision, the initiative reflects Dubai’s goal of fostering a knowledge-driven economy through inclusive, learner-centric models. The nursery combines structured development tracking with joyful elements like music, nature activities, splash zones, and role play.
Sameer K. Mohamed, Managing Director of MVK Holdings, added, “Families want more than just childcare. Crayons Nursery offers a secure, enriching space where each child is celebrated.” He emphasised that the new centre is only the beginning of a wider rollout across the UAE.
With the motto ‘We Explore, We Imagine, We Bloom’, Crayons Nursery Dubai promotes creativity and resilience. The team will work closely with parents, reinforcing a child’s unique growth trajectory.
By launching in Nad Al Sheba, Crayons Nursery Dubai sets a new benchmark in early education, integrating innovation, care, and cultural inclusion from the very first years of life.
