As the sun sets over the bustling skyline of Dubai, many Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) find themselves not only working hard to provide for their families but also facing the challenge of finding quality education for their children. For parents who have made the bold decision to live and work in the UAE, being away from their loved ones is never easy, especially when it comes to the well-being and development of their little ones. Second Home Playhouse is here to change that, offering a safe, nurturing, and affordable environment for young learners.
In an exciting moment of celebration and achievement, Second Home Playhouse recently held its First Quarter Recognition Awards. This event honored the hard work and growth of the young learners enrolled in the playhouse. Children were recognized for their development in social skills, creativity, language, and motor abilities. These awards are not just about celebrating accomplishments, but about inspiring children to continue exploring, learning, and growing in their unique ways.
As an OFW parent, seeing your child receive such recognition is a heartwarming experience that brings a sense of pride, knowing that their development is in safe and caring hands, even while you’re away working. But for many parents, finding the right educational program for their children in Dubai can be a daunting task. The costs of international schools and the pressure of balancing work and family can be overwhelming.

Why Bring Your Child to Dubai?
Being an OFW parent often means making difficult choices. Many parents choose to leave their children behind in the Philippines, but the distance can take a toll on both the parents and children. Having your child with you in Dubai while you work gives you the advantage of being more involved in their daily lives and development.
With Second Home Playhouse, OFW parents can provide their children with access to quality education without the need to be separated. This connection is invaluable — your child can grow up in a dynamic, multicultural environment, surrounded by the diversity that Dubai offers, while benefiting from a hands-on education approach. You get to witness firsthand their learning journey, celebrate their milestones, and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing they are being well cared for.
A Place for Growth and Empowerment
At Second Home Playhouse, the focus is on developing the whole child through play-based learning. This approach ensures that children are not only learning academic concepts but also developing socially, emotionally, and physically. From interactive games to arts and crafts, from language exercises to physical play, every activity is designed to encourage curiosity, self-expression, and collaboration.
For OFW parents, the feeling of relief knowing their children are growing and learning in a supportive and loving environment while they work is priceless. The flexibility of year-round enrollment means that no matter when you decide to move to Dubai, your child can start their educational journey without delay.
