The Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) in Dubai has introduced a new policy that allows children aged 0-6 to participate in home-based learning through a system called Centre-Led Home-Based Learning (CLHL). This initiative is designed to provide flexible education amidst regional tensions and is applicable only during government-mandated distance learning periods. Nurseries will manage the rollout, staffing, and approvals for these services, ensuring that parents cannot directly apply. Parents have two service options: a CLHL Hub, where a licensed early childhood center operates a small setting in a residential home for up to eight children, and a CLHL Educator arrangement, where a trained staff member from the nursery provides in-home learning for a single family. The KHDA has emphasized that these services are temporary and require rigorous risk assessments and compliance checks by the nurseries. Continuous monitoring will be conducted by both the nurseries and KHDA to ensure the safety and quality of education during these periods.
