The wait is over for families in Abu Dhabi seeking a nurturing and innovative learning environment for their young children. The Redwood Center of Excellence, a leader in early childhood education, has officially announced plans to open its doors in the capital city during the first quarter of 2025.
This expansion marks a significant milestone for Redwood, following the successful launch of their flagship center in Dubai's Al Barsha 2 in April 2022. Since then, the Redwood Center has garnered a reputation for its exceptional curriculum and commitment to fostering a love of learning in its students.
"We are thrilled to be bringing the Redwood experience to Abu Dhabi," said Ms. Sarah Hadid, Director of Redwood Center of Excellence. "We believe that every child deserves a stimulating and enriching educational foundation, and we are confident that our unique approach will resonate with parents in the city."
Redwood's curriculum is a blend of established frameworks, incorporating elements from the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and the Montessori method. Additionally, the center offers a unique focus on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education, along with a strong emphasis on the arts. This holistic approach aims to nurture a well-rounded development in young learners, fostering intellectual curiosity, creativity, and social-emotional skills.
One of the highlights of the Redwood experience is the option for full-immersion bilingual programs. Arabic and English, or English and French, are offered, allowing children to develop fluency in two languages from a young age. This not only opens doors to future academic and professional opportunities but also fosters a deeper understanding and appreciation for diverse cultures.
The Abu Dhabi center will boast a state-of-the-art facility designed with early learners in mind. Spacious classrooms filled with natural light will provide ample room for exploration and play-based learning. Additionally, dedicated outdoor spaces will encourage children to connect with nature and develop their gross motor skills.
Redwood's team of passionate and qualified educators will be at the heart of the learning experience. Each teacher undergoes rigorous training and professional development, ensuring they possess the expertise and dedication to nurture each child's unique potential.
The opening of the Redwood Center of Excellence in Abu Dhabi promises to be a welcome addition to the city's educational landscape. With its innovative curriculum, commitment to bilingualism, and focus on holistic development, Redwood is poised to offer a truly enriching and rewarding learning experience for the next generation of young minds.
