Our Program
Laying the Foundation for a Lifetime of Learning and Confidence
Student Evaluation
We believe every child learns in their own time, and our role is to meet them where they are and guide them forward with intention and care. We offer a personalized evaluation model that celebrates progress, not perfection.

Our Weekly Experience
At Little Luminaries, each week blends structure, creativity, and connection. Our daily routines build confidence and security while keeping children engaged through meaningful, hands-on learning. From literacy to nature walks, every moment is designed to help your child grow, thrive, and shine.
​
Mornings Begin with Meaning
Circle time, calendar routines, and connection set the tone for a focused, calm day.
Literacy & Numeracy Foundations
Daily practice in early reading, writing, and math through playful, hands-on activities.
Creative Exploration
Art, music, and dramatic play give children space to express themselves freely.
Social-Emotional Growth
Kindness circles, emotional check-ins, and leadership roles build empathy and self-awareness.
Outdoor Play & Movement
Children enjoy fresh air, nature walks, and active play every day — rain or shine.
Life Skills & Independence
From managing their lunch to tidying up, children build confidence through daily routines.
Lunch Time & Learning
Children learn how to sit together, open containers, and eat independently while discussing healthy food choices.
Our Learning Environment
At Little Luminaries, the environment is a core part of how children learn and grow.
Indoors, our space is calm and carefully prepared with Montessori-inspired materials, soft lighting, and cozy corners that encourage focus, independence, and creativity.
Every area is designed to support self-directed learning and meaningful exploration.
​
Outdoors, children spend time in nature daily — whether it's a mindful walk, a scavenger hunt, sensory play, or group movement. These outdoor experiences help children connect with the world around them while building confidence, coordination, and joy in movement.
With only five children, the environment stays peaceful and personalized — a space where every child feels safe, supported, and ready to thrive.
