Early Childhood Teacher of the Year – The Finalists
The most passionate teachers of all for children? Perhaps, maybe probably. Who will forget our Awards at the Rajmahal and the tears and laughter of our winning Nursery School and its wonderful teachers. The skills and vocation of our most outstanding nursery school and Early Years teachers are indisputable. These earliest phases of education for children are hugely complex and the teachers we entrust with our very little ones play an inordinately important role in shaping their future.
These have been difficult years for our Early Learning Centres and Nursery Schools. We have lost many through the Covid years that were hit hardest of all, and indiscriminately. Early Years teachers are such a profoundly important part of our educational community in the UAE. Whether in our schools or stand-alone Early Years Centres, our finalists, against many odds, stayed the distance for their families and children. Each of these extraordinary teachers ensure, in so many ways, that our pre-school children enjoy a beautiful, hope-filled, exciting and inspirational to the nth education that prepares each child as best as any little one could be for the big journey to school ahead of each of them.
Our Early Years Teachers, in that sense, are the very definition of makers, and protectors, of children and their happiness.
