Dubai KHDA Launches Home-Based Learning for Children Aged 0-6 During Distance Education

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.

KHDA Home-Based Learning
Dubai's KHDA has introduced a new policy allowing children aged 0-6 to opt for home-based learning.
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. 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Options are withdrawn when normal operations return.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.
