Our Mission

At Learning Trail Nursery (LTN), we believe every child has an inquisitive mind, ready to explore the wonders of the world. Our mission is to ignite that natural curiosity and foster a lifelong love of learning in a nurturing and joyful environment.

The Learning Trail Model

Our Learning Trail Model (LTM), developed over twenty four years, harmoniously blends the Montessori philosophy with the Environmental Program (EP). By embracing Arabic as our primary language, we guide children from their earliest years to become self-aware, environmentally conscious and culturally proud individuals. LTM nurtures development across six essential areas:

  • The Child: Celebrating each unique personality.
  • Culture: Embracing our rich heritage and traditions.
  • Environment: Fostering a love for nature.
  • Ethics/Spirituality: Instilling kindness and empathy.
  • Health: Promoting an active, healthy lifestyle.
  • Creativity: Encouraging imagination and self-expression.

The Montessori Approach

In our classrooms, children are free to explore a carefully prepared environment filled with engaging materials that cater to their developmental stages. This hands-on learning fosters independence and self-discipline as children choose their activities, working at their own pace.

Montessori education emphasizes experiential learning through the five senses, encouraging children to touch, see, hear, taste and smell as they engage with their surroundings. Activities are designed to promote practical life skills, sensorial experiences, mathematics, languages and creativity.

The role of our teachers, or "directresses," is to guide and facilitate rather than instruct, creating a nurturing atmosphere that encourages curiosity and exploration. In this way, children develop not just academically, but socially and emotionally, building confidence and a lifelong love of learning.

The Environmental Program

Children actively participate in tending to our vibrant nursery garden, where they plant, water and nurture flowers and vegetables, witnessing the magic of growth firsthand. They learn to respect all living things, understanding the value of sustainability by caring for our organic herb garden and farm animals.

Through hands-on activities, such as collecting leftover food to feed our rabbits, chickens and ducks, children develop a sense of responsibility, compassion and environmental stewardship. This holistic approach cultivates an appreciation for nature, inspiring them to become conscientious guardians of our planet.

Our Caring Team

Our dedicated teaching team, chosen for their warmth and patience, is committed to nurturing inquisitive minds. They undergo continuous training to ensure a vibrant and engaging learning atmosphere.
