Passion Turned Purpose

With over a decade of classroom experience and a Master’s in Education, Samantha is the heart behind

Little Luminaries. A certified teacher, passionate early childhood advocate, and mother, Samantha launched Little Luminaries to offer something rare: a structured, Montessori-inspired kindergarten prep program that combines academic readiness with social-emotional growth — all within an intimate, five-child environment.

​

After moving to Innisfil with her family during the pandemic, she saw a clear need among discerning parents: they wanted more than childcare — they

wanted purposeful preparation. Little Luminaries was born to meet that need, ensuring every child shines

with confidence, curiosity, and capability before

entering Kindergarten.

Why We're Different

At Little Luminaries, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care — and we’re certainly not a daycare.

We are a selective, high-end kindergarten preparation program designed for families who value intention, structure, and early excellence. Every aspect of our approach — from our Montessori-inspired curriculum to our exclusive 5-child cap — is rooted in a single goal: to nurture confident, curious, and capable learners who are truly prepared for Kindergarten and beyond.

 

Here’s what sets us apart:

  •  Led by a Certified Teacher with a Master’s in Education — not an assistant, not a babysitter.

  • Only 5 Students at a Time — ensuring unmatched personalization and deep connection.

  • Montessori-Inspired & Academically Balanced — literacy, numeracy, and emotional intelligence are at the core of every day.

  • Home-Based, Yet Highly Structured — we blend warmth with professionalism.

  • We Interview Families, Too — because fit matters. We’re looking for families who align with our values of respect, growth, and consistency.

  • We’re not here to fill space — we’re here to shape the early years with meaning, heart, and purpose.
