  Shoshanna Hall

  I have been working with children for over 5 years in a range of settings with children of different age groups and with a number of additional needs. My recent post has been as a fully qualified teacher in a school Nursery, where I have worked since leaving university, and therefore I hold a BA (Hons) in ‘Primary Education - Early Years’.

  I believe in ensuring that every child’s needs are met, and that learning is always inspired by children’s interests; full of excitement and new opportunities. This is crucial to ensure that every child grows to their full potential and is school ready.

  I am a passionate and motivated individual and I love what I do.

  I believe that learning in the early years should be engaging, playful and highly interactive and I love planning activities for children involving music, singing and dancing. I also recognise the importance of planning for the needs of each individual child to help them grow to their full potential.

  Working with children has always been a passion of mine, I strongly believe that the early years of a child's life is the most important stage in their development as this is where they learn social skills to make friends, develop new skills and the early years education will give children the best start in life.

  I hold a Level 5 qualification in ‘Childhood Studies’ and a paediatric first aid certificate. I have had work experience in a school as well as working in a nursery for over a year, where I have gained a lot of experience working with children of different age groups mainly the 3-5 group. I also have experience working 1:1 with children who have special educational needs.

  I have a BA Hons degree in ‘Childhood Studies’, and I completed my PGCEi course whilst working in Dubai.

  I have been teaching for many years mainly in Leeds, as well as London for 3 years and Dubai for 4 years. I have always taught in pre-school as I find this is the perfect age group to explore and be adventurous while learning and having fun in the process. It is wonderful to see children excel in different areas as well as realise their own individuality and interests as they grow. I have always been passionate about teaching and seeing children reach their full potential.
