First Children Nursery Inaugurated at Emirates Park Zoo

Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates - Saturday, August 23rd 2014 [ME NewsWire]
Major General Nasser Lakhrebani Al Nuaimi, Chairman of the Emirates Park Zoo, inaugurated the Barney Home Nursery, located within the grounds of the Emirates Park Zoo in Al Shahama, Abu Dhabi. The nursery is the first-of-its-kind in the region.

In his remarks during the official inauguration ceremony, Major General Al Nuaimi emphasized that the project contributes efficiently to nurturing children's character by providing them with the opportunity to get up close and interact with animals beyond books and magazines. "This would promote the educational methods aimed at inculcating the values acquired through interaction with animals in the youth, such as compassion and responsibility, as feeding and caring for a pet encourages childhood responsibility," he added. He also noted that it was agreed with the nursery’s officials to allocate places for children with special needs and children of widows.

The Barney Nursery, which is prestigiously located within the grounds of  the Emirates Park Zoo, resorts to international educational methodologies to acquaint the new generation of children with  the modern educational and scientific tools and  prepare them efficiently for the next academic stages.

The nursery includes play areas and science and language skills labs, aimed at instilling positive values in children, such as excellence, respect, amicability, cooperation and fun within a perfect and encouraging environment. The nursery also includes a medical clinic fitted with high quality equipment based on the best international and specialized standards.
