Kids' Classes & Activities in Arabian Ranches, Dubai

1 businesses listed, 0 Verified or Trusted. Sponsored results are labelled; positions 4+ are ranked by rating, response rate and completed jobs, reshuffled weekly.

Kids' classes and activities, from swimming and football to music, art and coding, are run by businesses with a trade licence from the emirate's economic department. Some education-type centres also need a permit from the education authority (such as KHDA in Dubai or ADEK in Abu Dhabi), so ask which licence covers the class you are booking.

Safety comes first

Ask how coaches and staff are vetted, whether they hold first-aid certificates and how many children each adult looks after. For swimming, ask about lifeguard cover and class sizes. Check the collection policy and who is allowed to take photos of the children.

What it costs in 2026

  • Swimming lessons, group: AED 80 to 150 per session

  • Music lesson, one-to-one: AED 150 to 300

Before you book

Ask for a trial class, the make-up policy for missed sessions and the refund policy if your child stops. Check whether kit, uniforms or exam fees are extra.

Check the badge first, then read the reviews and the response rate. Ask for a written quote that names the company on the licence, and pay only to an account in that company's name.

Frequently asked questions

What licence should a kids' activity centre have?

A trade licence from the emirate's economic department that covers the activity, such as sports training, arts or music. Centres that teach academic or education-type programmes may also need a permit from the education authority, such as KHDA in Dubai or ADEK in Abu Dhabi. Ask which licence applies and check it on the issuing register.

How much do kids' classes cost in the UAE?

In 2026 group swimming costs AED 80 to 150 a session, a term of weekly classes AED 800 to 2,000, a one-to-one music lesson AED 150 to 300 and holiday camps AED 200 to 500 a day. These are typical Dubai prices; in the other emirates prices are often similar or somewhat lower.

What safety questions should I ask?

Ask how staff are vetted, whether they hold first-aid certificates, the adult-to-child ratio, the collection policy, how injuries are reported and, for swimming, whether a lifeguard is on duty. Ask about the photo policy too.

Can I get a refund if my child stops?

It depends on the centre's terms. Many sell non-refundable terms but offer make-up sessions or credit. Read the terms before paying, and for longer packages ask whether you can pay monthly.
