In a groundbreaking initiative, حضانة ريدوود مونتيسوري المارينا is unveiling new educational spaces designed to meet the demands of the future. Part of the esteemed Kids First Group, this nursery aims to enrich the Montessori experience and equip children with essential human skills needed for success in an ever-evolving digital landscape.
Innovative Learning Environments
As artificial intelligence revolutionizes workflows and communication methods, experts agree that the most critical capabilities for future generations are inherently human: empathy, creativity, critical thinking, and adaptability. At حضانة ريدوود مونتيسوري المارينا, these qualities are cultivated from an early age through interactive educational experiences that ignite curiosity, enhance focus, and build self-confidence.
The Pottery Room: Fostering Creativity and Motor Skills
In the newly established pottery room, children engage in molding clay with their hands, enhancing their conscious motor control and instilling practices of mindfulness and deep concentration. Research suggests that hands-on activities, such as working with clay, significantly improve children’s focus and patience by slowing the pace of learning and connecting it to the present moment. These activities also support emotional regulation and perseverance—skills often lacking in today’s screen-saturated and fast-paced environment.
The Kitchen Area: Promoting Independence and Executive Skills
Within the dedicated kitchen space at the nursery, children learn how to prepare snacks independently, instilling a sense of pride and autonomy through everyday practical tasks. Studies confirm that cooking activities enhance brain functions associated with planning, focus, and goal-setting. As children chop, measure, and clean up, they not only develop fine motor skills but also learn responsibility, step-by-step organization, and self-confidence.
The Atelier: Expressing Emotions Through Art
The “atelier” at حضانة ريدوود is an art studio inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, allowing children to express their emotions and ideas through drawing, sculpting, and storytelling. Research indicates that visual arts significantly contribute to emotional intelligence and communication skills—key soft skills that promote collaboration and empathy towards others.
The Carpentry Corner: Instilling Perseverance and Problem-Solving Skills
The newly designed carpentry area encourages children to plan, measure, and build using tools that are safe and age-appropriate. Research shows that open-ended building play enhances spatial thinking, perseverance, and problem-solving abilities. When children use real materials for construction, they gain tangible insight into cause-and-effect relationships and learn the importance of retrying after failure. These skills are fundamental for future inventors and innovators.
“These spaces are not designed solely for entertainment; they are also meant to unleash children’s talents,” says Camille Najar, CEO and Founder of Kids First Group. “They help children develop soft skills that artificial intelligence cannot replicate—such as creativity, initiative, and emotional connectivity—through joyful, hands-on learning experiences.”
The Marina branch stands out in the UAE with specialists in behavioral therapy on its staff, ensuring that every child receives comprehensive personal support from day one. Additionally, the classrooms at حضانة ريدوود are overseen by experienced, specialized Montessori educators who monitor each child’s interests and help them navigate their individualized learning paths.
With over 34 nurseries in the UAE and Qatar, Kids First Group continues to lead the early education sector by creating forward-thinking kindergarten environments that prepare children for a promising future, equipping them with a flexible mindset and life skills essential for success.
