Well Al Quoz is a very industrial kind of area... The place is a bit busy but sometimes even the staff area (depending on which company he's with) has a small supermarket and internet area. There are some supermarkets around and to get to the main shopping malls like Batutta and Mall o the Emirates, you'd need a taxi but there are always several in the area and they're actually cheaper.
About schooling... I wouldn't know. But I'm quite sure there are. A lot of people are living in Dubai and a lot of them have kids...
Good luck with the heat!! Dubai is awesome but hot and humid...

I lived in Al Qouz for 2 and a half year. It is the industrial area, but also the resident area. Lots of company have the accommodation for the staffs there, esp the hotel, because the land is cheap and it is near the main road (Emirates Road). There are lots of shop and it is very near to the best mall of Dubai, Mall of the Emirates. The traffic is good there, but you might get lost easily. I'm not sure about the nurseries, but there is one school there. Dont know about the name, but it is the colorful building!
