About the Position:

A well known, established preschool nursery in Dubai seeks an experienced and motivated educational leader as its Head for its branch in Abu Dhabi. The Manager will work with the preschool nursery's owner and its leadership team to oversee the establishment, management and financial matters, and further the Vision of the Nursery in line with its objectives. She will be responsible for hiring, leading and supporting the staff members in the day-to-day management and administration of academic, educational and other operations.

Preschool Curriculum/Ethos: The preschool nursery follows the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Framework, further enhanced by the Reggio Emilia approach to learning, and cater for children from the age of months to 5 years. The Reggio Emilia Approach consists of strong, holistic educational aspects derived from historical, ethical and cultural values existing in the society of Reggio Emilia. The significance of the mutually supporting partnership and dialogue between parents, children and teachers, the importance of a calm, rich and inspiring nursery environment and the visibility, value and respect of each child's learning journey are the main aspects of the Reggio Emilia Approach, which are merged with EYFS. We are currently contemplating revising the Curriculum to integrate Montessori method within EYFS.
