Hi Ilites, my dh office is recently shifted from abudhabi to dubai, staying in karama. two months back i have delivered a babygirl in india , i have planned to be in dubai during december. i need to get admission for my son in nursery. whether they will give admission in december for nursery or not please kindly give me some suggestions....... thanks in advance.. warm regards nitheka
Re: new to dubai Hi nitheka, here most of the nursery schools gives admission through out the year. so u can easily get the addmission.
Hi Nitheka, this is Anitha, as syama said u can join in any nursery thru out the year in dubai, though they follow term wise. anyways a fresh term vl start from january. but better to join him in the first week of either dec or jan not in the mid of the month. and if u need any info on nurseries i vl help u out. recently i have joined my daughter in a nursery , so i did a lot of research on this.
Hi Anitha, I have a son who is 3 yesr old as of Oct 2010. We will be coming to Dubai in Mid Jan 2011. what are the best schooling options. 1. What is cut-off age for LKG. Until then are there good nurseries. 2. Which good nursery/schools. Are Indian managed schools good or is it better to consider UK managed schools. Will appreciate your response.
Hi shanti, as u said that ur kid vl b 3yrs completed by oct 31st , there is no need for him to join again in nursery. In dubai the cut off is by april 15th ,2011 ur kid shud complete 3yrs but ur kid vl b more than that so no need to worry u can join him in LKG. since u r coming in jan only and if u want him to join in some nursery for couple of months until he goes to a school then i can give u info abt that. since my kid is also going to nursery. and to my knowledge admissions for the 2011 curicullum already started so immediate after u come to dubai make sure u get admission in agood school if is is indian school the curriculum vl b same as in India for UK schools they start some where in september 2011 i think . and fee wise comparitively definitely UK schools charge more than Indian schools if u r ok with the fee structure then go ahead for UK schools or there r Good Indian schools as well bye for now tc Anitha.
Hi Anita, Thanks a ton. Information provided by you is extremely useful. 1. Yes, we will need to put him in a nursery till he joins a regular school. Which are the good nurseries. We will be probably staying in Bur Dubai area. What are the fees here ? 2. We will like to put him in UK based schools. What are the fees here and which are best you would recommend. 3. Pls also let us know which the best Indian Schools and fee structure. 4. Also IS THERE A OPTION where we can put him in a nursery and he continues there itself for LKG ( Either UK based or Indian Schools ). Pls excuse me for the trouble. Regards
