About Abu Dhabi

The Abu Dhabi Early Childhood Authority promotes optimal child development and wellbeing, from the early stages of pregnancy to the age of 8 years, through four sectors: health and nutrition; child protection; family support; and education and early care. Its role is to inform and influence early childhood development policies, inform decision making through research, and incubate innovative ideas, while enabling the early childhood sector and navigating the impact it is making. The vision of the Authority is that every young child can flourish to their full potential in a safe and family-friendly environment.
