The Inspire Philosophy: Mud Matters
The Mud Kitchen at the back of the nursery is a very special place to everyone within the nursery, adults and children alike.
It's an area that represents play to its maximum potential; exploration of textures, team working, communication and imagination through the creation of projects big and small.
It also gives children the chance to immerse themselves in nature and gather an understanding and respect for plants and other living things.
As adults, it is important that we model the behaviour and kind of play that is expected of children in an area like a Mud Kitchen, so that they can reach the full potential of their play.
Which means that it is our job to get dirt under our nails, make some mud pies and show the children how getting messy can be fun! #theinspirephilosophy
As an eco nursery in Dubai who has been established in Jumeirah for the last 30 years, we are honored to welcome the next generation of students into the Kid’s Island Nursery in Jumeirah family and it is rewarding to hear parents say “I remember what it felt like when I experienced this at the nursery for the first time”. It is important to cherish your warm childhood memories and even more important to create new ones with your child.
