Summary

I am a passionate and committed Early Childhood Educator with over ten years of teaching experience across government and private sectors. Fluent in both Arabic and English, I bring strong communication skills and cultural awareness to diverse learning environments. My expertise lies in fostering holistic development in young learners through play‑based, inquiry‑driven, and innovative teaching strategies.

I have extensive experience supporting children from multilingual backgrounds, including first and second language learners, and I am skilled at designing individualized learning plans that promote language acquisition, social‑emotional growth, and academic readiness. I use formative assessment and performance data to set child‑centered goals, track progress, and implement effective interventions.

As a collaborative educator, I work closely with parents, colleagues, and community stakeholders to create inclusive, nurturing environments that encourage exploration, respect, and teamwork. My leadership experience as a Grade Level Leader has strengthened my ability to mentor peers and contribute to institutional development. I am eager to bring my skills and dedication to advancing early childhood education in UAE.
