Luxury is ever-present in Dubai, and the "Friendly Early Childhood Centre" nursery is no exception...
The youngest residents of Dubai won't miss the luxury of their homes while at nursery, thanks to the impressive features found in every corner of the 1500-square-meter space dedicated to learning, playing, and relaxing. Upon entering this multi-story space, a cheerful robotic dog welcomes the little ones for a day filled with fun and learning.
The interior comes to life with interactive touch experiences, such as a sand timer and floor graphics. But that's not all; spacious classrooms allow children to move freely, while a luxurious cafeteria, comparable to high-end restaurants, serves delicious meals four times a day.
There are no more than 10 students per class, with each child having their own dedicated bed for afternoon naps. Ensuring their health, Friendly ECC includes first aid, a team trained in fire safety, and a full-time certified nurse.
As the crowning touch, staff undergo polygraph tests in Russia to ensure the absence of any physical or psychological abuse towards children, according to the website. All the fun isn't confined to indoor spaces; outdoor activities include a giant chessboard, large sandy areas, and splash pools reminiscent of resort amenities. Being a nursery in Dubai, there is a space with luxurious children's cars like mini Bentleys and G-Wagons that they can drive around the nursery track.
Little stations like a fire service, bakery, ice cream shop, and even a mini zoo help stimulate children's imaginations through role-playing games. For their physical well-being, children at this nursery have access to neuro-fitness classes, rock climbing, dance, and yoga.
The cost to enroll your child in this beautiful paradise of learning and endless fun, the Friendly Early Childhood Centre, without meals, is 80,000 dirhams or $22,000, making it the most expensive nursery in the Emirates. It wouldn't be surprising if some of these children one day attend Institut Le Rosey in Switzerland, one of the most expensive schools in the world, with annual tuition starting at $132,000.
