The program is very enlightening and exciting. It has enhanced my skills to think holistically for the children, staff and parents. Sharing evidence, I realized how unknowingly I was reflecting on my practice and applied strategies. The best part about this course is it is practical and reflective. The support and guidance throughout this course from Dr Roeia has helped me keep faith in my abilities to overcome my doubts. I am more passion-driven about my profession than ever. Thanks for all the support and the guidance.

It has been a very successful & and educative learning journey of CACHE Level 5. This course has enhanced my knowledge and taught me a lot of new things, which I have started to implement in my EYFS setting and seen a remarkable difference and positive outcomes.  I have been able to make a lot of positive changes in my practice, policies and procedures. 

Thank you Arabian Child for all the knowledge provided.

5/5

This diploma has definitely added to my overall development. Professionally, it has enriched my knowledge and helped me understand all matters related to managing a nursery. It has opened my eyes to many aspects that were happening in front of me but didn’t quite know why it had to be in a nursery setting.  I loved that the center provided online sessions which made it feasible for me to enroll being a full time mom, employee and having to live outside of Dubai.  I would definitely recommend this center for pursuing any CACHE qualification.

This qualification has not just taught me how to be a good manager in early years but also a good human being in my personal life. With constant guidance from Dr.Roeia and the rest of the staff at Arabian Child, I have really learnt a lot and had experiences I will cherish forever. During this course I have gone through extreme personal problems but Dr. Roiea stood by me and helped me through the tough times by regular checks on my assignments and research. I want to thank the whole team at Arabian child for the support and lovely memories. Thank you!
