Dubai Regulator Rolls Out Temporary Home Nursery Options for Distance Learning

The policy keeps nursery learning going during temporary shutdowns of in-person care.

Overview

  • Dubai's Knowledge and Human Development Authority introduced two home-based nursery services over the weekend for children up to six.
  • The regulator says only licensed nurseries can run the programme and parents cannot apply directly.
  • CLHL Hubs are small, nursery-style groups in an approved home for up to eight children with centre staff and a responsible adult from the household present.
  • CLHL Educators send a single, qualified teacher to one family for one-to-one or sibling-only sessions, with staff vetted for early years training, police clearance, first aid, and safeguarding.
  • The services switch on only during mandated distance learning, with hubs operating on weekday hours and requiring home risk assessments, weekly reports to KHDA, and transparent, reasonable fees.
