Barashi Nursery

Barashi Nursery was opened in year 2016, offering British Curriculum education for children from age group of 3 months to 5 years. Within a span of 2 years, today Barashi Nursery has 70 children and a staff count of 15.

​Barashi Nursery is a well-established nursery run by Ms. Reyam AlMousa, based in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates and aims to provide the highest standards of care for children and has adopted the EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) curriculum.

Welcome to Barashi Nursery! The first day of school is an exciting milestone in your child's life. Your child is embarking on a journey that will lead them on many roads of discovery and learning.

As wonderful as this new experience may be, it can also be quite stressful for the young child. New situations and change can, at times, be unsettling for all of us. For many children this may be their first experience of separation from parents or care givers at home. It is common for even the most outgoing child to be anxious the first day of school.

We have provided a few suggestions for assisting your child during this time. Remember the preschool staff will be available to provide support and assistance; making your child's first school days happy days.

• Prepare your child for the new school experience by explaining what to expect. Answer all questions directly and honestly.
• Convey a positive attitude. Young children are aware of your feelings. Your enthusiasm will assure the child that school can be a fun and exciting place.
• Establish a routine involving both the night before a school day as well as morning preparation. Rituals and routines will add predictability and are comforting in unfamiliar situations.
• Bring something from home. This is acceptable and often reassuring in helping the child with the initial adjustment to school. This item may be a treasured blankie or even a photo from home.
• Clearly state to your child where you will be and when you will return. It may also be helpful to discuss what will happen when you are reunited.
• Maintain a clear good-bye routine. This may include warning the child you are leaving in 3 minutes, a kiss and hug, or a wave from the window. Once you tell your child you are leaving, it is important to follow through. Extending the good-bye with "Ok just one more kiss, and then I really really have to go.” tends to heighten anxiety rather than relieve it. Avoid sneaking out, this seems to encourage children to become less trusting and makes the second day of school even harder.

At Barashi Nursery School, we accept children starting at the age of 3 months and upto 5 years. We strive to create an atmosphere that is happy, caring and challenging.
