Dubai: Maple Bear, the world-renowned nursery franchise organisation founded in Canada with over 20,000 students and 170 centres in 11 countries worldwide will soon start operations in Dubai.

The education provider will commence its roll-out plan with the opening of two nurseries in Jumeirah and Burj Area from January 2015. The brand’s regional launch is the result of a partnership with The Learning Curve Holdings.

Maple Bear’s arrival in the GCC is a clear response to the UAE’s pioneering commitment towards raising the bar for early childhood education in the region, which has witnessed a compounded growth of pre-school aged children in line with its steady population growth.

Busy parents in the UAE place a high priority on finding a safe and nurturing environment for their children that adheres to international standards, making Maple Bear, with its focus on the Canadian curriculum and externally audited classes, the ideal choice.

“We are very excited to be bringing a globally recognised early childhood development school system with a successful history in operating in many diverse countries to one of the fastest growing cities in the world,” said Basem Abu Dagga, Chief Executive Officer of The Learning Curve Holdings.

Eight further Maple Bear centers are planned in the UAE. The nursery is currently open for admissions for the January 2015 term in both Jumeirah and Burj Area.
