A very warm welcome to Term 3 to all the children, parents and staff! The first week of the new term has passed and the children are settling well into the nursery routine! Another exciting term has gone by and we are fast approaching the end of the year. We hope that everybody had a relaxing and wonderful Term break.

Please note the following special events that will take place at Learning Ladder Nursery during Term 3. Attached is also the overall plan that would be followed for the next few weeks:

  • Doctor’s Visit-early June: Just mention we had a visit from the doctor
  • Fairy Tale Dress Up Day-Thursday May 15, 2014: In keeping with the topic of “Once Upon a Time” in May 2014, we would like to invite the children and staff to dress up in a character from their favourite fairy tale or story. The children are also welcome to bring along a favourite book to show their friends. We look forward to an exciting day and will be taking plenty of pictures to post on our face book page.
  • Career Day (Date to be announced): Our topic for June will be “When I grow up” and we have arranged for guest speakers to give the children an understanding of how people have different careers and what sort of work they do. We look forward to an exciting event in which children will get a first hand insight into the different options that they can explore once they are older.
  • Graduation Day-Monday June 16, 2014:  Once again it is time to take the tissues out and say good bye to our graduating class The Bluebells.

Trip to the Zoo

Learning Ladder Nursery in JLT was very busy in December. We celebrated national day and went a field trip to the zoo. Our trip to the zoo started with a bus ride which added to the excitement as quite a few children had never been on a bus before. We were able to see more animals than ever before, because they were out due to the cool weather. Some of our favorite zoo animals:
The male lion was one of the first animals we saw. He sat there lounging the whole time we watched. At times, he even turned to look at us. The children who had never seen a real lion before were amazed!
The reptile section is always a “must stop” for the children. Snakes are their favorites. Lots of “oohs” and “aahs” as we walked along the enclosures. The giraffes created much curiosity, the children in awe of the tall lanky animal!

After a busy morning at the zoo, the kids were tired and hungry and gobbled away their snacks on the bus headed back to nursery in Jumeirah lake towers.Nursery in JLT Dubai Trip to the Zoo Nursery in jlt_zoo_trip2 Nursery in jlt_zoo_trip3 Nursery in jlt_zoo_trip4 Nursery in jlt_zoo_trip5 Nursery in jlt_zoo_trip6 Nursery in jlt_zoo_trip7 Nursery in jlt_zoo_trip8

Mother’s Day at Learning Ladder Nursery

Dear Parents,

A very warm welcome to Term 3! Another exciting term has gone by and we are fast approaching the end of the year.  We hope that everybody had a relaxing and wonderful break.

We would like to thank all the parents and staff for help us arrange so many exciting and fun opportunities for the children to learn. In February, we had our wonderful trip to Barsha Pond Park and then the colourful International Day with costumes and food from all over the world.

We started off March by launching a much awaited bus service to help facilitate the parents in the school run. Our transport service with a dedicated bus nanny on board caters to not only within JLT but to the neighbouring areas of Dubai Marina, The Gardens/Discovery Gardens, Greens, and Tecom. Please inquire at the nursery for the charges and timings.

On March 6th,2013 Learning Ladder Nursery had a visit from the renowned dentists Drs. Nicols and ASP to educate our children on the importance of dental hygiene from an early age. The children were given a vital demonstration on the use of proper brushing and flossing techniques, the importance of healthy eating, and of brushing at least twice a day. The initiative was to empower our children for a brighter healthier smile in the years to come! The children had a fun and exciting time while learning and you can enjoy the pictures on our face book page.

On March 21st, 2013 we all got together to celebrate the most important person in our lives. “Mother’s Day” was celebrated with children decorating cupcakes for their mommies and making a bouqet of presents for them. We all shared in the love and warmth the children shared with their mothers and as usual there are some lovely mommy-child photographs to enjoy on the Nursery facebook page.
