About Raffles Early Childhood Centre
Raffles ECC Arabian Ranches sits inside one of Dubai's longest established family communities. The campus has two age defined classrooms and plenty of indoor and outdoor facilities, including climbing equipment, a slide, a see-saw, and a large sandpit. For Ranches families this is the most convenient option, no school run drive across the city, and the Innoventures school progression pathway means parents can plan continuity from nursery all the way through to senior school.
