The Sharjah Public Works Department has completed work on a new nursery in the Diba region, according to a report by the Emirates News Agency (WAM). The Diba Al Hisn Model Nursery is part of a larger project that the Sharjah Government is working on, in an effort to offer better education within the emirate.

The Sharjah Educational Council is responsible for the new nursery, which accommodates 88 children, and features eight classes for activities, a food court, indoor and outdoor play areas, administrative offices, and other ancillary service facilities. The nursery was built at a cost of $2.5m.
