MEET THE DIRECTOR

Gloria — the heart behind LittleSparks

Gloria founded LittleSparks Montessori in 2006 with a strong belief — that every child deserves to be seen, understood, and guided at their own pace.

Today, she continues to be actively involved in the classrooms, engaging with children and supporting teachers. Trained in early childhood education and the Montessori method, she has shaped LittleSparks into a school where Montessori is practised with integrity, and where every child is known and valued as an individual.

This belief continues to guide the school — that every child deserves to be supported, respected, and nurtured in their learning journey.

“I started this school because I wanted my own children to have somewhere like it. Twenty years later, I’m still here for that same reason.” — Gloria, Founder & Director

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Six beliefs that shape every day at LittleSparks

Twenty years on, these are the principles we still live by — the ones that turn a preschool into a place children genuinely love to be.

01

True Academic Understanding

Children learn through understanding, not memorisation — building strong foundations that last a lifetime.

02

Exploring the World

Curiosity is encouraged. Children observe, question, and discover — making learning meaningful.

03

Learning Through Exploration

Children engage with hands-on materials that build real concepts and skills for life.

04

Inclusivity

Every child is valued and supported, regardless of their ability, pace or background.

05

Teacher–Parent Partnership

Strong communication and collaboration with parents ensure the best support for each child.

06

Valuing Each Child

Every child is respected as an individual — their voice, effort, and growth matter.
