Why choose Riyadh Schools
Nurseries
We work within the following principles
We recognize the significance and sensitivity of sharing care with parents during the early childhood years, and we are committed to fostering the holistic development of every child in a safe and nurturing environment.
We recognize that infants and toddlers develop differently from older children, and that their learning and development require responsive, secure, and safe relationships with their teachers and caregivers.
We understand the rapid pace of brain development during infancy and toddlerhood and its impact on children's language acquisition, communication, pre-writing skills, social-emotional development, physical growth, and other capacities such as resilience, curiosity, and independence.
We believe in sustainable learning materials, offering open-ended and sensory resources that encourage and facilitate creativity.
We acknowledge differences in children's pace of development and ways of learning and expression. Each child's holistic development is observed and supported throughout the year.
We view play as a child's platform for testing ideas, exploring new words, creating stories, forming social connections, and developing practical life skills.
Family
We partner with families in caring for, educating, and supporting each child's development, recognizing that the nursery is a child's second home.
Safe Environment
Our top priority is ensuring that all children are safe and well cared for. The secure relationship between a child and their caregiver is recognized as the primary indicator of quality in early childhood settings. Research consistently shows that the quality of this relationship is strongly linked to better outcomes in language skills, mathematics, behavior, and social competencies. For this reason, caregiver development is a core priority at our nurseries, supported by an intensive six-month training program covering the fundamentals of child development and effective communication in the early years.
Communication and Language Development
Communication and early literacy skills form the foundation for developing speaking, listening, reading, and writing abilities, as well as later academic achievement. This begins with a secure relationship with the child and is supported by a rich environment that offers sensory experiences, free play, storytelling, and the arts.
Social & Emotional Development
Social and emotional development begins in early childhood through responsive interactions and consistent routines. It is nurtured through activities and experiences that build children's confidence in their abilities, encourage persistence in working toward goals, foster curiosity for exploration, and support growing independence.
Movment and physical Development
Developing fine and gross motor skills, along with establishing healthy habits, forms the foundation of physical development in early childhood — and is recognized as essential for later writing skills and long-term engagement in sports. This is supported through guided infant movement and developmental monitoring, age-appropriate activities for toddlers that build grasping and balance, and more complex tasks for older children such as pouring and walking along straight lines. We also implement policies that promote healthy eating and active movement throughout the day, guided by our belief that development thrives through interaction, communication, movement, and play.
