Outdoor Classroom
At Green Grass Nursery, we firmly believe that learning goes beyond the confines of a traditional classroom. Our Outdoor Classroom experience for early years is integral to our educational philosophy, aiming to foster holistic development, nurture curiosity, and lay a strong foundation for lifelong learning.
Our Outdoor Classroom transforms nature into an open-air learning environment where children engage their senses and gain a deep appreciation for the natural world. From observing birds in the trees to planting seeds in our garden and building with sticks and stones, every moment outdoors is a lesson waiting to be discovered. Through outdoor activities, children develop problem-solving skills, critical thinking, and an understanding of the interconnectedness of the natural world. It's a place where physical development thrives as children run, jump, climb, and explore. They also learn vital social skills like cooperation and effective communication.
Our Outdoor Classroom seamlessly integrates with our curriculum, making learning an immersive experience across subjects. In conclusion, at Green Grass Nursery, our Outdoor Classroom is not just about outdoor play; it's an essential part of early childhood education that connects children with nature, nurtures holistic development, and sparks a love for lifelong learning.

Our dedicated Arabic teacher employs this framework as the foundation for our Arabic language program. Daily half-day Arabic classes are designed to immerse students in the language, thoughtfully integrated with ongoing class themes for an enriching and enjoyable learning experience. Students cover essential aspects of the Arabic language, including greetings, letters, vocabulary, colors, and numbers, using music, playful activities, and captivating stories. This program aims to establish a strong foundation for future Arabic language studies.
