General hints about the curriculum

How we teach

Our curriculums are built with an entertaining approach to education that integrates fun and innovation into every facet of your child's learning process.

Play based

Play is the method, not the reward

At Super Kidz, play is not what happens once the work is finished. It is how the work gets done.

Using the globally renowned Montessori approach to early childhood education, we are big believers in learning through play. The Montessori approach introduces children to problem-solving at a very young age, helps develop their motor skills, and helps them grasp otherwise foreign concepts through imaginative play and real-life roleplay. Introducing children to certain behaviours through early stimulation helps their minds grow and process information far earlier than was originally thought possible.

  • Child-led, adult-prepared. Each of the nine stations is carefully set up; the child chooses within it.
  • Concrete before abstract. Children handle a concept physically before it is ever a word on a page.
  • Repetition is welcome. A child who repeats an activity twenty times is mastering it, not stalling.
  • Mistakes are information. Materials are self-correcting, so children discover the answer themselves.

Communication

We are committed to connection and communication with each child's parents. Every child from 4 months to 4 years old has their own account on our mobile application, where we update parents with their child's details: daily reports, doctor's examination reports, monthly menus, monthly newsletters and themes, quarterly assessment reports, important notifications.

2

Health & nutrition

Healthy children are happy, active, and ready to learn. That’s why we place your child’s health and wellbeing at the heart of our daily care. We provide three nutritious meals each day — breakfast, a healthy snack and lunch — prepared with fresh ingredients and carefully balanced to support your child’s growth and development. Your child’s wellbeing is also supported through a weekly doctor’s visit, helping us monitor their health and respond to their needs with care and attention.

3

Positive discipline

Our dedicated nursery team uses the positive discipline approach to teach and guide our children by reinforcing positive behaviour, letting them know which behaviours are acceptable in a way that is both firm yet kind. Fostering a climate based on caring, connection before correction, kindness and firmness, and dignity and respect.

4

Edutainment

Using advanced teaching approaches and programmes, our curriculums are built with an entertaining approach to education that integrates fun and innovation into every facet of your child's learning process.

5

Montessori approach

Learning through play, with materials and the nine stations prepared so that children can direct their own discovery — developing motor skills, independence and problem-solving from a very young age.

6

Creative learning

Art is fundamental to our creative learning process — it enhances creativity, broadens the imagination, develops self-esteem, and encourages critical thinking and learning. Art engages the child's senses in open-ended play and develops their social, emotional and sensory-motor skills.

Jolly Phonics

Jolly Phonics is the systematic phonics programme we use as part of our literacy programme. It is designed to teach children to read and write by introducing them to the 42 letter sounds of the English language, rather than just the alphabet. They are then taken through the stages of blending and segmenting words, so as to develop their reading and writing skills.

Character

The 7 Habits of a Happy Kid

Alongside literacy and numeracy, we teach character explicitly. These seven habits are woven into daily conversation, stories and the way conflicts get resolved.

  1. Be proactive.
  2. Begin with the end in mind.
  3. Put first things first.
  4. Think win-win.
  5. Seek first to understand, then to be understood.
  6. Synergise.
  7. Sharpen the saw.
Quran & languages

Quran and three languages, every day

Quran, Arabic, English and French run through the day as part of ordinary routines — greetings, songs, story times and instructions — rather than being taught as separate lessons.

ق

Quran

Daily memorisation and recitation, pitched to each age group and continuing through after school.

AR

Arabic

Mother-tongue storytelling, rhymes and letter recognition.

EN

English

Our main language of instruction, with Jolly Phonics as the literacy backbone.

FR

French

Introduced through songs, counting, colours and daily greetings.

Common questions

What parents usually ask

Is a play-based nursery enough preparation for school?

Yes — and often more than enough. Children who learn through play arrive at school able to concentrate, finish a task, work with others and solve a problem without being told the answer. Alongside that, our Seniors group covers the 42 letter sounds through Jolly Phonics, early numeracy through Montessori materials, and pencil control and writing readiness.

How will I know what my child did today?

Every child has their own account on our mobile app. You will receive daily reports, monthly menus, monthly newsletters and themes, doctor's examination reports, quarterly assessment reports and any important notifications — so you are never guessing.

What happens when children misbehave?

We use positive discipline: firm yet kind. Connection comes before correction. We tell children clearly which behaviours are acceptable and why, and we give them the tools to handle the feeling next time — rather than punishing and moving on.

What do children eat?

Three home-cooked meals a day: breakfast, a snack and lunch. We use only fresh food and minimise salt, sugar and flour with healthy alternatives. The month's menu is published to parents in advance through the app.

Are there cameras, and can I watch from home?

Yes, the entire nursery is monitored by cameras to help ensure your child's safety and well-being at all times. For the privacy and protection of all our children and staff, the footage is not accessible remotely or online; it can only be viewed on site.

If you would ever like to see any footage, we warmly welcome you to come in, and we’ll be happy to review it together with you.

Is there medical support on site?

A qualified pediatrician conducts weekly health check-ups for every child, and remains on call for any additional needs that may arise. All check-up updates are recorded and made available through the app, ensuring parents have continuous access to their child's health information.

How do you settle a child who is new?

Our gradual separation approach. At our nursery, we believe a gentle, gradual transition helps every child feel safe and confident in their new environment. From day one, we ask mothers to stay with their little ones for the first two hours, allowing the child to explore and bond with their surroundings in a familiar presence.

Each day, we extend this time by an hour — three hours on day two, and so on — until, by the end of the week, the child is comfortable staying independently. This step-by-step approach respects each child's pace, easing separation anxiety and helping the transition into nursery life feel natural and stress-free for both child and parent.
