Safa Early Learning Centre

Email Admissions

Our early learning centre offers a professional and friendly environment where children learn and develop through play and a variety of innovative activities. Our classroom sizes are relatively big and are bright; we also provide low child/teacher ratio to enable our teachers to provide one-on-one learning experiences in all age groups. Our setting is very family orientated where the children and the parents feel like it is their second home, a home away from home if you’d like. Safa ELC was established in 1979 with two branches located in Dubai.

The teaching methods are based on children learning through play. Their approach of teaching is holistic and are trying to get back into the natural side of things. Safa ELC is one of the few nurseries that provide swimming as part of their curriculum as they believe physical activity is imperative with the child’s development.

The educators and assistant teachers are all qualified and experienced with working with children and most of the teachers have been with SAFA ELC for many years; because once you join SAFA, you become part of the Safa Family.

The dedication of the staff at this nursery in Dubai has truly transformed my child's early learning experience, and I'm consistently amazed by the remarkable progress he makes every day!

I absolutely love SAFA ELC. I enrolled my daughter in the toddler 1 class. The support I feel my child gets is outstanding. Love the warm welcome and the cheerful goodbyes, all the staff are sweet and lovely to talk too. What I liked most about the staff is that they remember each child's name regardless if they are in their class or not. Ms Andreea is a gem and we cant thank them enough for the support they have given us and our little one.

Took both of my children here and I can't express how much I loved it. The Staff are extremely professional, warm and caring towards the children. Their facilities are really homely and the renovations are lovely. The classrooms are spacious and bright and I saw the development from both of my children during their time at SAFA ELC. Cannot recommend them enough!

Highly recommended centre. My baby was extremely happy and excited every day to go to the schools. Have to say that I was really lucky to have Ms Chelsea as a teacher for my son. She is amazing. So friendly, well educated , and so caring. Loved the way they deal with parents, they are very professional and friendly , so flexible and listen to your notes and feedback . I really recommend it for the 3 to 5 years kids.

This is a sweet little nursery where they emphasize play, and community. We have had both our children there, and have met life long friends. Although its a big commitment to be part of a cooperative school, the community and lessons that comes from it are wonderful. The Director/ Teacher is one of the best I've ever encountered, very friendly.
