Abu Dhabi, 1st May 2025: The National Academy for Childhood Development is participating in the 34th edition of the Abu Dhabi International Book Fair, held under the patronage of the UAE President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, running until 5 May 2025 at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC).

The Academy’s participation is aligned with this year’s Abu Dhabi International Book Fair theme, "Knowledge Illuminates Our Community," reflecting its ongoing commitment to community engagement and its dedication to advancing awareness around the critical importance of childhood development as a foundation for building future generations.
Through a range of specialized programs — including the accredited Vocational Diploma in Childhood Development and a portfolio of continuous training and education programs — the Academy is focused on enhancing the capabilities of caregivers and parents, with particular emphasis on promoting the Arabic language, Emirati heritage, and national identity.

The Academy’s stand features a dedicated showcase of students’ creative storybooks, alongside an interactive children’s zone hosting 26 workshops, covering activities such as drawing, coloring, the Arabic Letters Board Game, and DIY storybook creation. A dedicated storytelling corner will also present 26 storytelling sessions, designed to foster imagination and strengthen children’s listening and expressive language skills.

"Our participation in the Abu Dhabi International Book Fair reflects the Academy’s commitment to supporting childhood development and emphasizes our belief in the vital importance of investing in this critical stage as a foundation for building future generations capable of contributing to the nation’s growth," said Dr. Meera Alkaabi, Chief of the National Academy for Childhood Development.

"Through our programs and initiatives, we are committed to providing an educational and interactive environment that nurtures children's skills, supports families, and advances their ongoing educational and developmental journey."
