- Our New Home At Al Quoz Park
Welcome to Our New Home
Nestled within the residential district of Al Quoz Park, our beautiful new Home Grown Children’s Eco Nursery has been thoughtfully designed to feel like a calm, nurturing extension of home. This new chapter of Home Grown builds upon the warmth, values and mindful philosophy that have always been at the heart of our nursery community, while creating even more opportunities for connection, creativity and holistic child development.
Growing Together in Al Quoz
The space features 10 beautifully designed, nature-inspired classrooms created to integrate the outdoors, alongside expansive indoor and outdoor environments, natural materials, sensory-rich learning areas and flourishing gardens that inspire curiosity and imagination every day. With seamless indoor-outdoor flow, the environment encourages children to move freely between nature, exploration, creativity and play, while embracing a slower, more mindful approach to childhood.

Our Eco Philosophy
Together, the new location reflects the evolution of Home Grown Children’s Eco Nursery, thoughtfully expanding our environments and experiences while continuing to honour the values and philosophy that remain at the core of our community.









Our approach to sustainability is deeply experiential. We invite children to become active participants in caring for the world around them. They learn that small actions—like watering a plant, sorting recycling, or turning off a light—can have a big impact on each other and our planet.
Some of our daily practices include:
At Home Grown Children’s Eco Nursery, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. From plastic-free lunches and daily routines to on-site composting and recycling, we give children hands-on opportunities to care for the planet. Most of our artwork is crafted from recycled or upcycled materials, sparking creativity while reducing waste. We carefully source our toys, materials, and playground equipment from ethical suppliers, choosing natural textures such as wood and fabric wherever possible. Outdoors, children explore green spaces filled with native plants, pollinator-friendly gardens, and sensory pathways designed to connect them with local biodiversity. Our regular “Eco Days” and parent-child sustainability workshops extend this ethos beyond the classroom, helping families embrace environmentally responsible habits together.
Children learn best by doing, and our Green Engagement Programme brings sustainability to life through everyday activities. From tending to our organic vegetable garden and composting food scraps to creating art from recycled materials and caring for our outdoor spaces, children gain hands-on experience that nurtures a sense of responsibility, empathy, and connection to the natural world. This immersive approach helps them see themselves as active stewards of the environment, cultivating habits and values that last a lifetime.
At Home Grown Children’s Eco Nursery, every part of our curriculum is rooted in love, trust, compassion, and a deep respect for the natural world. As we nurture young minds through meaningful, nature, connected learning, we are proud to introduce our unique take on STEM, Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.
For us, STEM is more than an academic framework. It symbolises the stem of a plant — the strong, supportive structure that helps life grow and flourish. Just as the stem carries water and nutrients to every part of a plant, our STEM experiences carry rich opportunities for exploration, curiosity, and discovery.
Sustainability begins at home, and we strive to be a role model and resource for our families and the wider community.
We host eco-workshops for parents, including topics such as zero-waste living, mindful practices and others. We organize beach clean-ups, and community recycling challenges We partner with local eco-businesses and changemakers to support broader sustainability goals across Dubai and the UAE.
Our goal is simple but powerful: to help children develop a lifelong love for the Earth. When children grow up with soil under their fingernails, leaves in their hair, and stories about how to care for the creatures around them, they don’t just learn sustainability—they become sustainability.
Our Ethos
Nurtured by Nature. Guided by Heart. Grounded in Purpose.
At Home Grown Children’s Eco-Nursery, our ethos is not just a philosophy—it’s a way of life. We believe that the earliest years of a child’s life are the most formative. These are the years where character is built, emotional intelligence takes root, and a sense of the world begins to unfold. That’s why our nursery is built on a foundation of love, trust, and compassion—values that flow through every part of our day, every relationship, every experience. We strive to create a peaceful, respectful, and holistic learning environment where children feel safe, valued, and inspired to grow—not just academically, but socially, emotionally, spiritually, and environmentally.
Sustainability
Our deep respect for the Earth is reflected in all we do. We believe children learn best when they are immersed in the natural world. Sustainability is not taught as a subject, but as a daily practice. Children recycle, compost, care for our gardens, and take part in eco-conscious activities that cultivate responsibility, empathy, and wonder. By weaving environmental awareness into our curriculum, we help children build a lifelong relationship with the planet, grounded in love and gratitude.
Connection
Human connection is at the heart of our nursery. We value every child as a unique individual with their own voice, story, and unlimited potential. Emotional Development is at the heart of all that we pursue and to connect a child to their inner self is essential. This connection nurtures resilience, self awareness and a strong foundation for wellbeing. We also believe in the power of community. Families are our partners, not just participants. We work closely with parents to ensure that the care and learning children receive is consistent, intentional, and supportive of their home lives.
Kindness, Compassion and Empathy
Our ethos centres around creating an emotionally safe environment—where children are not rushed, labelled, or expected to fit into boxes. Instead, they are held gently and encouraged to grow at their own pace, supported by mindful educators who model kindness. Compassion and empathy. We introduce calming rituals like mindfulness, gratitude circles, and gentle storytelling to help children develop inner calm and emotional awareness.
A Home Away from Home
At Home Grown, we often say that we are not just a nursery—we are a village. A safe, loving space where children feel free to be their most authentic selves. Where muddy hands are celebrated, emotions are honoured, creativity is encouraged, and nature is our greatest teacher. Our ethos is simple: if a child is held with love, they will learn. If they are heard, they will speak their truth. If they are connected to nature, they will grow strong, rooted, and whole. This is what it means to be Home Grown.
