About Us

Clinical Studies show that sports and recreation programs can help children establish lifelong, healthy, physical activity patterns. Regular physical activity can ward off life-threatening diseases, reduce feelings of depression and anxiety, help control weight and obesity, build and maintain healthy body and mind.

TENDER HEARTS concept grew from the experiences, observations and aspirations of parents, families and friends of children with special needs who wish for their children the joy, discovery, laughter and friendships that are the hallmarks of healthy childhood. Availability of specific recreational and life skill developmental programs is limited in UAE and other Gulf Nations. The children’s enthusiasm for such activities knows no bounds. Children will be engaged in a dazzling array of after school and weekend activities like dance and music lessons,creative art, drama classes and sports. These activities form an essential part of the development of imagination, confidence, physical and emotional well being of the self. They promote independence, respect, responsibility and self-esteem.

We at Tender Hearts are constantly working towards giving opportunities and avenues to people with special abilities to express, explore and have an insight on their own skills, talents and interests.
Most of these children have educational/healthcare facilitiies in the UAE but very less recreational opportunities. Some of these children cannot exceed academically (for various reasons) so recreation is another way to learn new things and to do productive things in life

There are variety of programs provided under safe conditions by specialized trainers such as Yoga, Martial arts, Brain gym , Sports.
