Abu Dhabi: The Abu Dhabi Early Childhood Development Fair, organized by the Abu Dhabi Early Childhood Authority (ECA), is set to take place from November 23 to 25, 2023, at Umm Al Emarat Park.
The three-day fair offers an opportunity for children, their families, parents, and caregivers to explore interactive events, out-of-school activities, scientific and technical workshops, as well as fun experiences aimed at promoting the development of children and encouraging interactive play and family participation. The event further aims to foster learning through play and support the physical and mental development of children.
This fair’s objective is to provide parents and caregivers with the necessary tools, skills, and resources to develop children’s abilities from birth to the age of eight through various workshops, sessions, and other activities in an innovative and interactive educational environment.
We are organizing this event as part of our efforts to strengthen the capacities of our partners to support the overall optimum development of children, re-adjusting society’s approach to out-of-school activities, and how we can meet young children’s needs by enabling their caregivers with the necessary tools and important knowledge on development. The fair also seeks to familiarize parents and their caregivers with opportunities and diverse services offered by the emirate of Abu Dhabi in this area.
