Blossom Nursery & Preschool in the United Arab Emirates is advocating for a science-driven transformation in early years education, emphasizing the importance of aligning nursery practices with the latest research in neuroscience, epigenetics, and cognitive development. Their Sustainable Education Approach, developed by Babilou Family, is built on six pillars including emotional security, natural curiosity, nature-based learning, inclusion, respecting child rhythms, and strong partnerships with parents.

Key findings highlight that young children require secure relationships and safe environments to support healthy brain development, and that pushing academic learning too early can be counterproductive. Feedback from families and educators across multiple countries revealed widespread concerns about academic pressure, lack of outdoor time, and weak emotional connections in nurseries.

Blossom's model responds by prioritizing secure attachments, calm environments, and daily outdoor activities, aiming to bridge the gap between scientific understanding and classroom practice. The approach underscores that nature-based learning and curiosity are essential, not optional, for children's growth, particularly in urban settings.
