Butterflies Montessori in Abu Dhabi near Al Manhal Palace is a Montessori based nursery (no surprise there) covering the six core areas of learning: Languages and Literacy (Arabic, English, Spanish & French), Natural Sciences & Environment, Mathematics, Sensorial, Cultural Subjects: Geography & History and Creative Subjects: Art , Craft, Music , Movement & Drama.

The nursery accepts children of 18 months up to 4 years and interestingly groups its pupils according to ability to work rather than age.

Once a child shows extra ability to work and gains advanced skills that would allow him to move to a higher level, the nursery does so by putting him three sessions per week with the older group until he is ready to be one of them permanently.

Field trips are part of the curriculum according to the pre-school's web site.

Limited feedback to Which School Advisor has been largely positive. The nursery is said to be clean, well organized with good individual attention paid to pupils.

The nursery does not publish its fees on its Web site.
