Year Groups: FS1, FS2, Year 1, Year 2
Curriculum: UK Early Years and Key Stage 1
Approach: Play-based, child-led learning
In the Pre-Prep we nurture the whole child in a supportive environment that fosters curiosity, confidence and independence. Learning is rooted in play, exploration, and creativity, helping pupils develop strong foundations in literacy, numeracy, and social skills. With an emphasis on pastoral care and individual attention, children are encouraged to become resilient, kind, and self-assured learners.
Play-Based Learning
Learning through purposeful play that builds curiosity, creativity and early problem-solving skills in a joyful, engaging environment.
Strong Foundations
Building secure foundations in early literacy, numeracy and communication to support confident progress into future learning.
Child-Led Growth
Encouraging children to explore their interests, make choices and develop independence through a responsive, child-led approach.
Harrow Dubai provides an exceptional learning experience for children aged three to five years of age. Our play-based approach, informed by early childhood research from across the world ensures pupils have access to the highest quality of provision to fully optimise their potential for learning and development. We ensure each child’s experience fosters and enables the necessary skills and attributes in preparation for a life of service, leadership and responsibility, with a strong cultural identity and heritage.
Our Early Years curriculum is aligned fully with UK Early Years expectations, whilst also offering a bespoke approach to teaching and learning through our child-led approach to curriculum design. The foundation for all learning is to strengthen communication skills, alongside supporting pupils’ self-regulation and emotional wellbeing, which our Early Years practitioners do expertly, alongside developing pupils’ capabilities within the core subjects such as reading, writing, mathematics and science.
Pre-Prep at Harrow Dubai gives young learners the strongest start, fostering curiosity, independence, and a love of learning. In classes led by expert teachers, within inspiring learning environments, children build strong foundations in literacy, numeracy, and communication while developing creativity, confidence, and resilience. There is a growing focus on developing independent learning skills, empowering pupils to take greater ownership of their educational journey.
With integration of pupil voice, where learners are actively involved in shaping elements of the curriculum, Harrow Dubai creates a more engaging and personalised learning experience that reflects the interests and aspirations of pupils themselves.
