End of Term one at Learning Ladder Nursery DMCC.
As our first term at Learning Ladder Nursery DMCC comes to an end, it has been a one filled with fun, laughter and excitement. It was wonderful to watch the children settle in extremely well, grow in confidence and develop new skills. It certainly has been an extremely positive and productive term. We want to appreciate our esteemed parents for their utmost support and cooperation. We at Learning Ladder Nursery DMCC will continue to do our possible best to listen to concerns and suggestions. The Nursery is growing from strength to strength and in January we will be welcoming more children into our Nursery.

Review Of Some Of The Events For The Term One
This term, there has been lot of events and activities at the nursery like ; Diwali Celebration , Pink Day to support breast cancer awareness, Magical Orange pumpkin day, Trip to Oli Oli Science museum, Flag Day, UAE National Day and last but not the least our Sing Along winter concert.
Diwali Day Celebration at Learning Ladder Nursery DMCC
Celebrating Diwali and other religious festivals in your early years setting creates an environment where children feel safe and comfortable to listen and learn about different cultures. Educating children about Diwali promotes culture awareness , religious, tolerance, family values . It enriches their understanding of the world and encourages them to embrace diversity. It was lovely to see our adorable children in their festive outfits. Thank you dear parents for your participation
Pink Day
Our favorite event was Pink day, in relation to Breast Cancer awareness month! Pink Together Stronger Forever
‘The Pink Walk’ around the community to represent one of the key ideas behind the event – ‘Be Aware… Be Safe’ We all got creative and came dressed in the colour pink. We had the chance to take part in activities based on the colour pink like; painting, cookery and craft activities. The children made their pink ribbons to express their support for the cause. The colour pink a favourite with many children in the class and has been rightly chosen as the colour of the international symbol as it is soothing, comforting and healing.
Thank you Parents for joining us on the pink day parde. The children looked adorable in their pink outfits.They went for a walk in the community and held the ribbon for the parade.
Magical Orange Pupmkin Day
The children enjoyed the Magical Orange Pumpkin day experience here at LLN this term. The children were excited to explore all of the messy activities and show off their costumes to their teachers and friends. Children explored various activities like playing with sago which had worms, orange spaghetti to fill their baskets, frozen jelly with spiders and worms , counting spiders through the web , sensory play with a real pumpkin which was cut open for children to feel the texture inside . Children enjoyed the activities as they developed on their fine motor skills and also learnt to play alongside each other supporting them in their personal and social development.
Trip to Oli Oli
An OliOli is a world-class interactive play museum where hands-on activities inspire positive play. Kids are free to wander and discover in spaces designed to foster their creativity, curiosity and imagination. The trips at Learning Ladder Nursery are meticulously designed and curated to reinforce the educational objectives!
The children explored Toshi’s Net in which children climbed through the net as they learn to take risks and share joy with their friends. Great open ended play to develop gross motor skills of children.The water Gallery was another exciting place to be. The children experimented with water concepts like; density, buoyancy, whirlpools, rain, weather etc. The future park took children to an interactive learning. A truly collaborative and creative environment where kids can see their artwork come to life on the interactive screens. The children thoroughly enjoyed themselves and the best part was ride on a yellow school bus.
National Day Celebration at Learning Ladder Nursery DMCC
UAE National Day at Learning Ladder Nursery is always a special occasion and this year’s celebrations were no exception. With all the bright colours and cheerful faces, there was a genuine sense of gratitude and respect for the country we live in. National Day celebrations play a vital role in promoting a shared identity, reinforcing national values, and inspiring a collective vision for the future,making it a momentous occasion that brings people together in joyous acknowledgement of their country’s journey and accomplishments. Children enjoyed the fun activities planned for them.
We thank all the parents who have joined us in celebrating the UAE National Day and making it a most memorable National Day event.
The sing-a–long was a great success where both children and parents participated in with great enthusiasm. The children created a winter scene for the show with lots of tress and snowmen. They also had a visit from ‘Big Man’ himself – SANTA. What a fantastic end to the term. After the sing- Along there were many planned festive activities for the children to participate along with some yummy treats.
Thank you to everyone who was able to attend this special festive event.
