Owls and Foxes Mum.
Our journey with Kipinä goes back to 2015. It started with my son Yacoub, he had the happiest 4 years of his childhood at Kipinä and made real friends that he sees till now. Of course, with our 2nd child we had no doubt that Leia would fit perfectly with the Kipinä Family. She wakes up so excited to go there every day. I have total trust in Kipinä being the best option in Abu Dhabi in all terms, clean and trustful. The staff are absolutely amazing.
Diana Ziadat
Owls Mum.
Being a working mum, it is hard on me to leave my kids for a long time every day, however seeing all the care and love the staff provide to the kids made it easier. My kids both feel happy and comfortable being at the nursery, I can see how they grow and learn so many wonderful things not only in their education but also in their personality. Being away from the nursery for a year due the pandemic had really affected my son emotionally… it made us realize how important it is to be enrolled in a nursery where they are surrounded by people who love and care for them. I’m really grateful for all the great work the staff is doing in caring for our kids beyond our expectations.

I’m lucky that I chose this nursery for Sara, it is a good choice I’ve made. I like the friendly environment, the teaching methods, and the kind staff. The environment is so nice and welcoming, that my daughter, Sara, is exited to come every day
Shamma
Owls Mum.
Kipinä is the best nursery in Abu Dhabi, my kids and I love it so much. It is not just about the excellent facilities and the continuous improvement; it is about the people who work there. They are professional, friendly, helpful and they pay close attention to each child. I wish Kipinä would go beyond the nursery so I can keep my kids there.
Rania Telfah

Our children have loved their experience at Kipinä- we know the kids are safe, happy and healthy and the education as well as care is top notch. We can’t say enough nice things about the Nursery

Kipinä truly feels like an extension of our home, providing a nurturing and safe environment where Julia can grow and thrive through play and fun.
Over the past three years, Julia has flourished both physically and emotionally at Kipina. She continues to gain new skills and enjoys her time there. We couldn’t ask for a better place for her to learn and develop!

Words cannot express my gratitude for everything you have done for Michael & Gabriela in your classroom.
Your kindness, passion & dedication to early learning is very obvious and reflects clearly on the children.
The twins have developed drastically since they have joined your classroom, and I am relieved knowing they are loved and taken care of.
I am especially appreciative to you teaching them Arabic at such a young age.
Ann Maria Haroun
Bears Mum - Gabriela and Michael Maalouf
Haru, who was only a baby in Swans, enjoyed a lot of activities with elder brothers & sisters of Foxes class last term.
It helped him to develop his communication skills, physical movement, and how to express his feelings. He smiles and becomes talkative whenever he sees the pictures & movies of Fox friends. Haru shows positive emotions most of the time. He got good friends indeed.
Learning the different languages and cultures is also a precious experience to sharpen his personality. Thanks to it, he seems to be outgoing, and isn't scared of strangers.
Ayako Hiraizumi
Swans / Foxes Mum - Haru Hiraizumi
As a parent of both a 4-year-old son and an 18-month-old daughter attending Kipina Nursery I cannot express enough gratitude for the care, dedication, and love they receive every day.
Kipina provides an enriching environment that prioritizes both learning and emotional well-being. The staff have created a nurturing and stimulating environment where both of my children thrive in their own unique ways. My son has grown immensely in confidence, social skills, and learning readiness, thanks to the creative activities and structured yet playful approach the teaching staff provides. For my youngest, it’s heartwarming to see how the teachers foster her curiosity and support her early development. They’ve made her transition into nursery seamless and comforting, which as a parent, gives me such peace of mind.
Being a parent at Kipina truly feels like a partnership, and I know my children are in safe, caring, and experienced hands.

My daughter loves her time at the nursery, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she receives. Ms. Amal, Ms. Karen, and Ms. Ana are amazing—always kind, attentive, and supportive. Their warmth and dedication create such a nurturing environment.
Randa Bouayad
Seals Mum - Leen Baira
My son is in the Swan/Foxes class at Kipinä nursery school and loves it! When I drop him off at school he is happy and eager to join the class. I feel safe with the staff at Kipina. His teachers are all kind and patient. Their attentiveness to his diaper needs and eczematous skin has been helpful. I am also very content with the academic progress he has made under Ms. Sharon’s guidance. Learning through play is evident in her lesson plans and the children are thriving and enjoy learning. Ms. Sharon has great communication skills. She sends weekly emails for lesson plans, uploads lots of photographs through the app so I know what he is doing all day, and she is provides feedback at pick up/drop-off. I feel very fortunate that my son is surrounded by such genuinely caring and talented teachers.

Foxes Mum - Alexander Barr
I am so grateful for the amazing job that Ms Sharon has done in teaching and caring for my 2-year-old daughter. Her patience, kindness, and expertise in early childhood education have helped my daughter thrive and develop in so many ways. Ms sharon has created a warm and welcoming environment in her classroom, where my daughter feels safe, happy, and loved. She has also gone above and beyond to communicate with me regularly and provide me with updates on my daughter's progress and growth. I truly appreciate everything that Ms Sharon has done for my family, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and dedicated early childhood educator.
