At Alif Ya, we nurture young minds with a creative, culturally grounded curriculum, where every story begins in Arabic.

To create a safe, inspiring environment that promotes deep bonds between children and their Arabic heritage by encouraging curiosity and creativity.
To build strong community partnerships to lay the foundation for lifelong learning.
Our Promises
At Alif Ya, we create a harmonious world where Arabic heritage sparks the imagination of every child. Through wonder and discovery, we inspire growth that touches both children and their families.
Proudly Arab
We are dedicated to nurturing a love for the Arabic language and Emirati heritage, helping children connect to their cultural roots while embracing the world around them.
Striving for Excellence
We promise to uphold the highest standards of early education by continually refining our curriculum, methods, and environment to support every child’s growth.
Creating Safe Surroundings
Our priority is to provide a safe, welcoming space where children feel secure and supported in their physical, emotional, and cognitive development.
Foresights for the Future
We prepare the next generation by fostering creativity, critical thinking, and a passion for learning, while promoting family values and community ties.
Collaborative
We believe in the power of partnership with parents, keeping communication open and involving them in every aspect of their child’s educational journey.
Innovative
We are committed to continuous growth, embracing new ideas, modern facilities, and updated learning strategies to stay at the forefront of early childhood education.
Blessed Friday
At Alif Ya Nursery, Friday is a special day where we give particular attention to Islamic traditions and practices.
The children learn about the importance of Friday, take part in performing wudu (ablution), and join a congregational prayer under the supervision of their teachers in an atmosphere of calm and respect—nurturing in them feelings of reverence and belonging.
