What Makes Little Feet Montessori Different

At Little Feet Montessori, we believe true growth happens when education, care, and nutrition come together in harmony. Here’s what sets us apart:

Nutritious, No-Limit Meals

Our menu is carefully crafted with natural, wholesome ingredients. There are no preservatives, no added sugar, and no portion control. Children can eat until they feel satisfied, promoting healthy eating habits. We offer a diverse selection of cuisines, including Indian, Italian, and more, exposing young children to global flavours. From oatmeal and berries to lentil soups, butter chicken, and seasonal fruits, our meals are designed to nourish growing minds and bodies.
Montessori Education from Age 1

We introduce the Montessori philosophy to children as young as 12 months, giving them a strong head start. Our toddler classroom is designed to support their language explosion through rich vocabulary, songs, stories, and hands-on activities that help classify objects by shape, size, and colour. Through purposeful conversations and child-led learning, we nurture curiosity, independence, and communication, laying a solid foundation for cognitive and social development.
Personal Connection with Families

We believe open communication with parents builds trust and confidence. That’s why we provide detailed daily reports and bi-weekly progress updates to keep families informed. These personalized insights share your child’s experiences, learning moments, and growth. Our commitment to strong relationships is reflected in the heartfelt testimonials from parents who feel connected, supported, and confident in our care.

Where we wholeheartedly embrace the authentic Montessori philosophy, combining it with a dynamic stem –based curriculum and fostering imagination play.

After dedicatedly maintaining an exceptional program for children, I have made the decision to step away from the CWELL program. Through thorough research and gathering feedback, I’ve come to the conclusion that it doesn’t align with the high standard of quality care I’ve upheld for many years, while also making the program affordable for parents. It’s crucial for me to continue providing the highest level of care, and I believe this decision will allow me to do so effectively.

I enrolled my son at Little Feet Montessori School, and I have witnessed an incredible transformation in him from the very first day. Initially, he was reluctant to go to school, often resisting the idea of leaving home. Now, he walks in with a huge smile on his face, barely glancing back to say goodbye. His enthusiasm for school is undeniable, and I know it’s because of the nurturing environment Shaheen has created.

One of the things that truly stands out is the diverse and thoughtfully curated menu that Shaheen has built. My son, who has always been a good eater, now looks forward to the meals as much as he does his lessons. The variety of cuisines offered, from Indian to Persian, Italian, and Chinese, has exposed him to new flavors and made me appreciate the effort put into ensuring the children enjoy well-balanced, delicious meals without any portion restrictions. It’s refreshing to know that my child is not only being well-fed but is also developing a broader palate in the process.

Beyond that, his speech has noticeably improved, and every day I see his social skills developing in ways I never imagined. He is more confident, more expressive, and his interactions with both peers and adults are flourishing. I can’t express enough gratitude to Shaheen for being such a positive and influential presence during these formative years of my son’s life. The attention to detail, the love, and the quality of care at Little Feet Montessori School have made all the difference. Thank you, Shaheen, for your dedication and for helping shape these important years in such a meaningful way.

As a teacher at Little Feet Montessori School, I am truly grateful to be part of such an inspiring and nurturing environment. Shaheen has built a team that works harmoniously together, creating an atmosphere of peace and collaboration. The children here are thriving in the beautifully prepared Montessori environment, where mixed-age groups offer a rare and invaluable opportunity for learning and development. The school is exceptionally clean and well-maintained, and it’s heartwarming to see how well the children are cared for. I genuinely enjoy being a part of this wonderful community!

We enrolled our son two months ago in the toddler program at Little Feet Montessori and it has been an amazing experience since the beginning. We have seen great progress of his motor and developmental skills.

Shaheen has been supportive and heavily involved with our son since day one. She worked closely with us to make sure the transition was smooth and make him comfortable along the way. It’s amazing how well she has connected with him, to the point where she knows if he had a rough night, based on his temperament at school. She always keeps us informed of his progress and always shares updates, much to our delight. As a toddler he is super picky with eating and Shaheen works hard to help expand his palate and get all the nutrients he needs.

We did a lot of research/ toured lots of daycares and Montessoris and this was one really left an impression on us. Our son looks forward to going to school every morning and one his favourite words is “Shaheen”.

We look forward to seeing his progress and would highly recommend this Montessori to everyone.

Shaheen has been very kind and supportive with our son who started a week ago. Our son goes with a smile on his face to Little Feet every morning. The activities are lovely and beautiful comparing with other schools seen and the layout is warm. She also provides healthy food to kids. We are truly grateful for Shaheen and for being part of my son's development. Thank you Shaheen!

I had enrolled my son with autism for the summer and the team has made his experience easy and fun! It was a challenge for my son to eat solid foods because he had sensory issues with shaheen and her team help he is starting to try new things with us. They also did a lot have montessori activities with the short amount of time he had there and he loved it. Shaheen is an amazing teacher, I highly recommend this school for your kids!

The focus on fostering not just academic skills but also social and emotional growth has made such a positive impact on our child's overall well-being
Shaheen goes above and beyond to keep us informed about our child's daily activities, milestones, and any areas for improvement. It's clear that Shaheen and staff genuinely care about each child and work tirelessly to ensure that every day is a joyful learning experience.
Choosing Little Feet Montessori was one of the best decisions we've made as parents. We couldn't ask for a more supportive, enriching, and loving environment for our child. Highly, highly recommend this Montessori to any family looking for the best possible start for their little one's educational journey!
