The Inspire Philosophy: Experimentation

This week, we tried something new. New for the children, new for our staff, new for the nursery. And oh, what fun have we had!

Everyday, beautiful projects are being created across the nursery. We love to experiment with new ideas and bring our Kid’s Island flare to activities and experiences, both new and practiced.

Many ideas came together to create what you see here in these photos. An idea of a nursery wide experience like the splash day, talk of more free creative expression that isn’t limited to the classroom and finding the best use for large blank canvases. Eventually, we landed on an indoor ‘yes’ space where paint was our medium and the room was our canvas.

Every age group and class has experiences something different. While some children were more keen to sit down and paint their hands and feet methodically until they were all blue, others wanted to race paint-drenched cars down ramps or mix all the colours to create their own new one.

We are working to break down the stigma of paint being limited to the end of a paintbrush. So, we leaned into the idea of children using their bodies as the tool to create art, without fear of messy hands or ruining clothes. And we think the results speak for themselves.

How did we do? #theinspirephilosophyThis is how we do things, but there is no right or wrong way to approach the topic of tech. Life is all about balance, how do you find yours? #theinspirephilosophyAs 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.⁠⁠
