Maria Holder Nursery School Gall Hill was named after the late Maria Holder, a stalwart in contributing to the development of Early Childhood Education in Barbados. The school was built and donated by The Maria Holder Memorial Trust.

The school is one of the twelve Nursery Schools on the island.

We opened our doors to the first students on September 12^th, 2016. The school was officially opened on January 6^th, 2017 by the Rt. Hon. Freundel Stuart, QC, former Prime Minister of Barbados. The first Principal of the school is Mrs. Olwin Walker.

Maria Holder Nursery School Gall Hill caters to students from 3 to 4 years old. The school is currently located on Church Hill Road, Christ Church and we seek to attract young children from the surrounding communities.
