His Highness highlighted the family's central role in instilling essential values, and nurturing future generations rooted in their national identity and able to contribute to the UAE's ongoing development.
Sheikh Mohamed's remarks came as he honoured institutions awarded the 'Parent-Friendly Label' by the Abu Dhabi Early Childhood Authority (ECA) during the programme's third cycle. The ceremony also included a reception for members of the programme's judging panel and several ECA employees.
