Doughnuts with Dad was a special celebration honouring Hadassah Hall fathers and celebrating fatherhood, parental bonds and the role of fathers in shaping the lives of their children.
Our fathers spent the morning having circle time with their kids, networking and interacting with grandfathers. The children honoured the fathers, their hero, by presenting Super Dad medals to the fathers present. The event ended with our Special Grandfather praying for the fathers and the children after a short exaltation in which he stressed: Dads are many things. They are providers, teachers, mentors, spiritual leaders, coaches, and even playmates. But a Dad’s most important job is modeling the love of God to his kids. It was a memorable event which the fathers and children will cherish for their lifetime. The ambience was fun filled with smiles stretched wide everywhere.

On World Environment Day, we are reminded of how important it is to take care of the environment and natural resources we all rely on. Each year, it becomes even more important to learn new ways to protect and preserve our planet for the future. Making our young ones become Environmental Warriors can be easily achieved by giving them a set of really fun and super interesting activities which aids our environment directly. If you’re wondering how your two to four-year-old can make a difference, then think again! And without any further ado here is how we spent our day… We connected with nature (this is vital to becoming motivated to protect it) by having lessons outside and enjoying the fresh air. The children took charge of keeping their surroundings clean, feeding JimJam, the school dog, watering the flowers and talking about the weather.

Hadassah Hall celebrated Africa Day at the school on May 25 with the theme of “The Arts, Culture And Heritage: Levers for Building the Africa We Want.”
Just like the purpose of the formation of the OAU on May 25, 1963, which was to promote unity and solidarity of African states, defence of their sovereignty, territorial integrity, independence and the eradication of all forms of colonialism from Africa, we want to encourage our children to embrace their cultural diversity and promote unity, and that they must not discriminate against each other as Africans.
We want to teach them our African ways of doing things so that they know where we come from as Africans. That is why we celebrate this day in our school. It must sink in that even though we have different cultures, the fact that we are all Africans means we are one. We must learn to respect our cultural differences and treat each other with respect and dignity.
Our excited children had African-themed lessons and games, sang traditional songs and danced to African music from different African tribes. They also had an African Cookery Class, preparing a main dish of fried Plantain and fried eggs with wish, Chinchin snack and Zobo drink. Teachers and learners from the school looked very colourful dressed in their traditional attires. Parents were gifted African-inspired souvenirs.
As a premium school driven by multicultural diversity we aim to put Africa on the world map as a key player in the education sector. The idea behind our celebration is to encourage cross cultural adoptions and more unity in our community.
On Thursday, May 27th, 2021, our school joined the rest of the world in the Children’s Day celebration in a grand style as we lined up various activities to the delight of our children.
At Hadassah Hall, we seize every opportunity to celebrate our children and engage them in lots of activities that will help their development processes. The celebration (which doubled as a Pyjamas Party) was themed #SugarRush, and took place at the school premises. #SugarRush started with a prayer session as a member of staff prayed for God’s protection, wisdom , favour and sound health for our children and the children all over the world.
Some of the activities at the occasion included an animation movie “Joseph”. The story of Joseph and the discussions around it taught the children about forgiveness. After the movie session, fun activities continued at our playground, as the children had a lot of fun with pool play, games and recreational activities. There was so much to eat and drink. Hadassah Hall also had gifts for the children and refreshments for their parents. The children had so much fun and it was indeed a memorable day. The day served as a reminder to us, to renew our commitment to the welfare of children and teach them to live by noble standards and example. It was the ideal opportunity to celebrate children and childhood, to celebrate our fantastic opportunities to and learn at our nursery and also to share our joy with our families and the community. Many thanks to the families who joined us on this enjoyable day. We hope you enjoy looking at the photos of the event.
Colour Week Do you know colours are the smile.of nature? Can you imagine the world without colours? Do you also know that early identification of colours helps to create the cognitive link between visual clues and words which is an important part of a child’s holistic development? Colour week was an amazing learning experience which had a long lasting effect on each student.
It was a celebration of the colours Yellow, Red, Blue and Green. All the children were dressed in the colour of the day throughout the week and engaged in colourful lessons and activities (also centred around the colour of the day). The daily activities began with an introduction of the colour of the day and objects relating with the colour, and other colouring activities. For the entire week, our children glowed in different hues and tints of colours and enjoyed a memorable learning experience in a lively, vibrant and high-spirited environment.
And by the end of such a colourful week, the children became truly aware of the colours and the world around them. Hats off to the excellent team at Hadassah Hall that offers the best system of learning through creative ways that enhance and nurture children into bright youngsters which the world is very much in need of today.
Whether you see it as childcare, or a place to learn, or about meeting friends – the entire premise of schools revolves around safety. Parents send their children to our school to learn because they know their children will be safe here at Hadassah Hall. Our school size ensures there are no distant nooks and crannies (as in large schools) where anything can happen to the children. Routines and strict policies on school safety have been established to ensure that the school is a safe and caring place for every child under our care.
Our school is a full Montessori school. We hope all children who come here will be happy and successful, and look forward to working with you in a constructive and mutually respectful partnership to support your children’s learning.

Why do we have small class sizes at Hadassah Hall? Simple! Smaller class size encourages intentional teaching that is child-centered.
At Hadassah Hall, we know through research that children learn best when they receive the proper attention they need to succeed. As I’m sure you can imagine, a struggling child can excel if given the proper attention and care. It is no surprise then that smaller classroom sizes create better learning environments for children!
Some children learn by doing, some by seeing, and others by hearing… whichever type of learning your children embrace, our strict policy for small class sizes allow for teachers to address the unique needs and learning style of each of their individual learners. Rather than teaching one big class, our teachers are able to teach a small community comprised of multiple individual learners. With our smaller class sizes, our teachers can get to know each child as an individual, working with them to enhance their strengths and improve their weaknesses. Plus, the children get to know each other better. Both children who are struggling and children who are excelling need individual attention. Smaller classrooms open up the potential to focus one-to-one with students and with parents in order to maximize the child’s full potential. Our teachers get to know the students better and can tailor their approach and attention accordingly. Our early education programs have been evaluated and found to be effective, and that’s why we choose to limit class sizes to fewer than 10 with teacher to child ratios of 2 to 10 or lower When students in smaller classrooms are outperforming their peers in larger classrooms academically, the choice for parents becomes clear and that’s the Hadassah Hall advantage.
Again, please note that low child-to-staff ratios allow teachers to know and notice each child in the classroom and share more stimulating, responsive, warm, and supportive interactions with early learners.

Because really, there are so many reasons why families choose Montessori for their children.
So when deciding what type of program to send your child to, there are many factors to consider. There are daycare programs, home-based schools, and preschools. The educational approach and philosophy used by the school should be part of your decision. There are many different styles of teaching: Montessori schools are known for fostering independence, and as the parent of a child who is receiving a Montessori education, I’m amazed by her growth and the way she is being shaped by her experiences. The Montessori method is a thoughtful and purposeful approach to education which emphasizes children’s innate ability to direct their development when given the opportunity and tools. Parents who choose a Montessori school for their children do so because of this emphasis on self-directed learning, the multi-age grouping environment, and dedication to individual growth.
The method’s emphasis on multi-age grouping benefit children in many ways. Children of differing education levels, abilities, and ages are grouped together and taught to learn from one another. Younger children begin to emulate the older children’s attitudes and behavior, and older children learn about caring and mentoring their younger classmates.
Montessori schools inspire confidence, nurture the child’s inate desire for learning, discovery, and social interaction skills in an environment where teachers are encouraging, engaging and value the individual child. Children learn how to learn, and this prepares each child for future academic and social excellence.
Montessori education has achieved world-wide recognition and success. This condensed explanation will acquaint you with the many advantages Montessori offers your child:
🔴The Montessori method has been time tested for 75 years and has achieved success throughout the world with children.

🔴Children have the unique oppoportunity to fulfill their potential.

Though much has been said about the academic achievements of Montessori children, the true value lies in the self-discipline, self-mastery and love of learning the children achieve.
