Dubai KHDA Launches Home-Based Learning for Children Aged 0-6 During Distance Education
Key Takeaways
- KHDA launches two services—CLHL Hubs and CLHL Educators—for 0–6-year-olds.
- Private nurseries can deliver centre-led home-based learning during distance-learning periods.
- Supports families by offering regulated, centre-supervised options during disruptions.
KHDA Home-Based Learning
Dubai's KHDA has introduced a new policy allowing children aged 0-6 to opt for home-based learning.
“CLHL Hubs and one-to-one educators to support families during distance learning periods Dubai: The Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) has launched two new services that will allow private early childhood centres to offer centre-led home-based learning (CLHL) groups and centre-supervised home tutoring for children aged up to six years in home settings”
The initiative includes CLHL Hubs and CLHL Educators models.
KHDA clarified these services will only be activated during government-mandated distance learning.
The framework includes seven core requirements covering licensing, risk assessments, and more.
Dr. Amna Almaazmi said the initiative reflects a commitment to ensuring children continue learning in all circumstances.
Structured and Supervised
The KHDA's home-based learning model is designed to replicate the nursery experience as closely as possible.
CLHL Hubs are supervised by staff from early childhood centres.
All home-based delivery remains under the supervision of licensed centres.
The framework places strong emphasis on safeguarding children.
Early childhood education is not easily portable.
Contingency, Not Replacement
KHDA has made clear that the home-based learning options are not a permanent expansion of nursery choice.
“The new system will only be available to parents during times of disruption”
This approach preserves centre-based learning as the norm in ordinary times.
The initiative is positioned as a disruption-only framework.
Options are withdrawn when normal operations return.
This balance allows meaningful flexibility without confusion.
