Eid is a time of happiness, community, and cultural richness – and at Little Feet Nursery, we bring that joy to life for our little learners! On 4th June, we hosted a beautiful Eid celebration that filled the nursery with smiles, colors, and festive cheer. It was not just a celebration – it was a meaningful experience that introduced children to the values of gratitude, sharing, and kindness in a way they could understand and enjoy.
Why Eid Celebration Matters in Early Childhood Education
At Little Feet Nursery in Sharjah, we believe that celebrating cultural and religious events plays a crucial role in early childhood development. Our Eid celebration on 4th June was thoughtfully planned to:
- Teach children the values of compassion, generosity, and community
- Help them understand traditions and customs in an inclusive environment
- Create memories that nurture emotional and social development
The celebration was more than just fun – it was an opportunity for holistic learning. Through storytelling, arts and crafts, dress-up, and interactive discussions, children gained a real-world understanding of why Eid is such a special day for millions around the world.
