The top nurseries in the UAE for your child’s Health, Hygiene and Safety

When selecting a nursery, parents often find themselves choosing the one with the most convenient location, the best curriculum or the one with the most affordable fees. While these are all important factors in the selection process, two other factors are often overlooked: health and hygiene.

Why health and hygiene?

But, did you know that, according to the health professionals at Boecker, your child is 3 times more likely to catch an infectious disease if he or she attends a nursery? It’s true, and it is because of the frequent contact made between your child and the surrounding environment. For example, when playing with others, children often exchange toys or make direct contact with each other or with contaminated surfaces, which may promote the spread of infectious bacteria and viruses. This is especially dangerous at such a young age because these children are still in the process of developing their immune systems. Also, with improper nursery health and safety processes, your child is risking his or her learning process. This is why it is fundamental for parents to consider the measures taken by the centers when it comes to the hygiene in nursery schools, in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
