Abu Dhabi's Early Childhood Development Strategy for 2035
Design a dedicated process for ECD-related policy and legislation development that is proactive, iterative, participatory, evidence-based and has strong enforcement and implementation components. In addition, review and adjust current policies and legislation and issue new policies or legislation as required to fill existing ECD-related gaps, promote high-quality services and strong child outcomes.


The inspiration behind our logo
Our logo is also inspired by the typeface created by Nasri Khattar in the 1950s. He created it as a way to help make the Arabic language more accessible and easier to learn and was nominated for a Nobel Prize for this effort.
