🌟 Celebrating Culture and Language in Cardiff! 🌟
Meet Hana Hersi, a mum-of-two who turned her passion for education and heritage into a groundbreaking nursery in Butetown. Inspired by her own experiences, Hana has opened the Sprouts Arabic Montessori Nursery, which intertwines bilingual education with a rich cultural backdrop.
This unique nursery embraces the Montessori method, encouraging child-led learning in both English and Arabic. Hana believes language is more than words—it’s identity and heritage. Her journey started during the pandemic when she returned to the UK and realized the absence of immersive Arabic learning environments for her children.
With a mix of teaching experience and digital savvy, Hana partnered with Ikhlaq Ali, and together they’ve created a vibrant space where children naturally absorb Arabic and other languages through play—think sensory trays, storytime, and even Arabic playground games!
Located in the culturally rich area of Butetown, renowned for its diverse history, this nursery offers more than just language skills. Children from various backgrounds come together, learning not just languages but also mutual respect and cultural appreciation. Parents rave about how confident and independent their children become, supported by an environment where everything is within reach for them.
Hana hopes her nursery leaves a lasting impact: empowering children to believe in themselves and be proud, curious, and respectful of diverse cultures. Beyond learning, the nursery is a hub for community connection, bringing families together through regular play events.
A nursery that embodies the essence of ‘it takes a village’—Hana has truly created a home away from home for these young learners. 🌍❤️
