The Al Marzooqi Family (Dubai)

Transitioning 22-Month-Old Layla into Nursery

🎯 The Family Situation & Challenge:

First-time parents Layla & Rashid wanted a zero-distress, emotionally gentle transition for their daughter, who had only experienced home care with grandparents.

⚠️ Before Nursery:

Severe separation anxiety, reluctance around unfamiliar children, and non-verbal hesitation.

✨ After Settling In:

Enrolled in Toddler Program with our gradual 2-week settling protocol. Layla now runs into class with joy, leads bilingual circle songs, and speaks fluently in English and Arabic.
