Art Village Nursery, part of the Ghobash Group, has unveiled a complete rebrand to strengthen its position as Dubai’s leading nature-inspired early childhood destination. The school now operates as Art Village Early Childhood Centre, reflecting a premium educational philosophy that goes beyond traditional nursery models.
The new identity underscores Art Village’s focus on outdoor exploration, community connection, and the “forest school” methodology as central pillars of early childhood education.
A Bold New Identity Rooted in Nordic and Reggio Emilia Philosophies
The refreshed brand features an earthy colour palette of forest green and sandy beige, paired with nature-inspired graphic elements. This design language reflects Art Village’s Nordic educational heritage, the Reggio Emilia approach, and its belief in children’s infinite potential through freedom of expression, investigation, and exploration.
“In Dubai’s highly competitive early childhood education landscape, Art Village stands apart by offering something truly unique,” said Susanne Linder, Principal at Art Village. “Our new brand identity expresses our commitment to providing children with authentic, nature-connected learning experiences that foster curiosity, resilience, and the joys of discovery. Our approach uniquely emphasises sustainability, outdoor learning, and village community values – elements increasingly sought after by Dubai’s discerning parents who prioritise holistic development over traditional academic pressure.”
Elevating Early Childhood Education Across the UAE
Sari Saliba, General Manager of Art Village and HEI UAE, added:
“Through our community-focused approach and nature-based learning, we strive to elevate early childhood education across the UAE. We’re genuinely excited about Art Village’s unique offering and look forward to contributing to a more inspiring future for young learners.”
As part of the Ghobash Group, Art Village continues to benefit from enhanced curriculum development and teacher training programmes, combining Nordic best practices with proven Finnish early childhood methodologies. The rebrand strengthens its role as a leader in progressive, nature-inspired education for young children in Dubai.
