Parent Testimonials

To the world, Valerie -Joy- Salway, to us Mamalina, to our child she is God's angel to him. A Teacher is the only influence outside the secure walls of a home and its values that shapes a child, and Mamalina has done just that, her teachings go beyond the realm of academia and today our child has learnt benevolence, empathy, dignity and self reliance. While there are thousands of teachers who will teach him the math and science  and teach him the A to Zees, but in Mamalina's arms our boy has learnt the reason to be human and how life skills outshine all else. We are truly blessed that a teacher like her is building the blocks of life for our lil one and we are sure that while he gets wiser with his A's and Zee's he will also master the P's.

Mamalina is known so because she embodies a motherly figure to our children. A mother always takes responsibility of her child and is the first teacher to her child is what she says. To my child and me she is the best teacher one can ask for, who not just guides us in English as a second language but helps in  building a child's educational and spiritual foundation which is so important in today's times. Well I can go on and on and write an essay but in a nutshell if there is God of English and value system on Earth it is Mamalina! We love her to the core! God bless her always with abundant health and prosperity.

Everyday you greet your students with a smile on ur face. Though paperwork the night before seemed like a grueling race.

Some days are demanding and frustrations takes its course. Then you c their little faces, their inspiration is ur force.

Hi Valerie (Our Mamalina), we want to take this opportunity again to thank you for what you have done for us as a family. Have known you since 1997 when we first met you as a principal of Kinara Kindergarten school for the admission of our son Rishi.  Rishi started his school life from Kinara, where his foundation of the English language was laid and till date, that foundation has stood strong. It's been almost twenty two years now and he has topped in school, junior college, college and university. He has turned out to be an amazing person. Thank you Valerie for the foundation you laid at Kinara in his life.
Secondly you have been the most important person to bring a change in our lives through your words of encouragement when we were at our worst in the year 1998. You showed us the path to new life when we had lost all hope and were about to commit suicide in September of 1998. You stood with us in those perilous times, worked on us daily, walked with us in our life of faith and never did you give up on us. You accepted us your own when everybody else rejected us. You are the only one who believed in us then. Whatever we are today is because of your belief and trust in Jesus Christ. You transferred that trust, faith and belief in us, we are eternally grateful to God for divinely sending you in our lives. Just want to let you know that you matter to us. Love you. God bless you. 

My son I have been with Hosanna for 3 years now and I am still grateful to the lady who introduced this school to me. I can give you many solid reasons why it’s a great school… the Montessori curriculum, the beautiful and kind hearted teachers, the exceptional hygiene they maintain, the bond they have with each child, the way they value and see each child as different and special, knowing each ones primary love language, learning style and the little details about them that only come when a teacher truly cares. But the true treasure has and will always be the interactions with the gorgeous school founder, Valerie Salway [or Mamalina as we lovingly call her]. She takes the pains to teach us mothers, on a weekly basis, how to teach the children and create fun learning opportunities in everything we do. And the plethora of ideas & support she gives us to create our own teaching tools makes motherhood an enriching experience and the mother child bond even more special. 

We love Hosanna and recommend it to every parent!

Dear Mamalina!
O Wow!
Every time we remember the name “Mamalina”- a world of best memories for our little child- Hitaartha resurface on our mind.
When Hitaartha was 3 – he was blessed with admission to Hosanna House Nursery.  We never imagined that Hitaartha’s growth could have been so rapid and in all the spheres- in those formative years. What Hitu gained in those three years was the foundation for his life ahead. Mamalina’s love and care and her beautiful smile and ever passionate hugs- were sun rays for the growing bud. Mamalina’s care always prompted Hitu’s love for English grammar, his passion to read Peter and Jane, his keenness to be active and take part in all events at the schools including the annual day functions, sports day and to sing the morning prayers.
We were fortunate to have Mamalina for our Hitu but God was not kind to us as we had to leave Mumbai when Hitu was 6 and we would have Mamalina only in our hearts since then.
Even after almost 3 years Hitu left HHN, he still receives everyday prayers and wishes from Mamalina. We always wish that HHN always grows and Hitu gets one more chance to relocate to Mumbai to be under the loving care of Mamalina. 
Waiting for one more opportunity to see Hitu run into your arms for that warm and beautiful hug as God has stopped making any more Mamalina.
In any case, we are sure when Hitaartha will give his speech on his attaining Masters, he will mention about Mamalina as his best teacher. Long Live Mamalina.

Our son Kiaan has been in Hossanna house montessori since he was 18 months old. Respect for space, people, feelings and objects has been our favorite. This place has really been great for Kiaan. He has thrived at Hossanna, and they have really helped us as parents to foster his intellectual curiosity and development. It's clear he is loved at Hossanna, and we couldn't be happier with the staff, especially Ms.Zasha and Ms. Valerie salway (Mamalina), who have clearly taken a real interest in helping him grow and be the best he can be in this world.
We have only positive words for Hossanna school especially, for Ms Valerie salway's (Mamalina's) warm, loving Demo classes for all the parents from the school. With a very warm atmosphere, Mamalina provided with everything we needed in order to improve our kids, teaching children at home. Her teaching method is fantastic because we could practice our English all the time in different ways such as speaking, grammar and by giving presentations about general topics. She's very qualified and she tried to push us (parents) to get more confident with teaching kids and enjoy it by learning. Mamalina is very cheerful, patient and friendly and always ready to help us in case we need some advice.
I always use to wait anxiously for her next demo classes every week.
I highly recommend the school to everybody who really wants or needs to improve as a parent. It has been a great decision for me to come here!

First of all I would like to thank Hosanna house for making Ethan's kindergarten years so memorable ..... as a parent I appreciate the efforts Hosanna house has taken in making Ethan's so confident about himself .....the lessons taught at the starting years of education is the foundation which he will stand forever in future....I am so glad that I had taken admission in Hosanna house because of the way he is today ....a brilliant child.....by far I have not seen any school taking so much efforts to teach the children with so much love and patience.....and the different ways of teaching has made him take interest in learning new things this has pleased me.....I had enrolled him for ESL Classes in which he learnt to read at such a young age and which also brought him intrest in reading books..... Ethan will miss Hosanna house very much.
