Arabian Child & CACHE introduce JAWDA™ Quality Improvement Program for Nurseries.

CACHE and Arabian Child announce collaboration to introduce new Quality Improvement Programmes specially for Early Years Settings developed for the Middle East early years’ educators. JAWDA™ – which means ‘quality’ in Arabic – helps childcare settings improve the quality of care and education provided to children and their families in the Gulf region, and it helps families make informed decisions about childcare services.

Childcare settings receive a tier level certification indicating the level of quality that they have achieved in specific standards in the following domains:

1. Child Learning and Development
2. Child Protection, Health and Safety
3. Workforce Qualifications & Professional Development
4. Citizenship, Community Partnership and Family Relations
5. Indoor and Outdoor Environments, and Leadership
6. Management and Administration.

The tiered system (tier 1 to tier 5) is a viable accountability that measure and supports childcare centres in improving the quality of their service. Each tier builds on the foundation of the previous one, resulting in significant quality improvements at each stage.

Congratulations to the Nurseries whom have already achieved the JAWDATM Quality Improvement Program so far including:

Tier 5: House of Colours Nursery (Al AIN, United Arab Emirates)
Tier 5: Busy Bees Nursery (Abu Dhabi
Tier 4: Sesame Street Nursery (Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates)
Tier 4: Talat School (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia) Arab Emirates)
