Tourism Development & Investment Company (TDIC), has signed with Kids First Group, an internationally-recognised academic operator, to open the first nursery school on Saadiyat later this year.
The nursery complements the educational projects currently being developed on Saadiyat, which include New York University Abu Dhabi - being developed by Mubadala - and Cranleigh Abu Dhabi school, whereby the crucial education stages - from pre-school up to university level - will be available on Saadiyat by 2014. The nursery will sit among Saadiyat Beach’s high-end community of residences, five-star resorts, top-class sports and leisure venues, and extensive retail outlets.
The project, which is currently in its schematic design phase, will encompass a total of 1,500 square metres of space, out of which will be a 500-square-metre building and the remaining 1,000 square metres dedicated to outdoor facilities. The concept design of the nursery is developed with environmental sustainability in mind - from the maximum use of daylight and natural ventilation, to using aesthetic and long-lasting natural materials. This unique design concentrates on creating a safe and healthy environment for the occupants.
