Our son has absolutely thrived at Little Garden thanks to the inclusive and welcoming environment that Leah and Grace have created. He needed a preschool with lots of outdoor play, and the self-directed nature of Montessori has been a wonderful fit for his active, curious personality. Leah and Grace are communicative and extremely kind and caring to our entire family. We cannot wait to have our daughter also join the Little Garden crew in the fall." 

“Leah taught my daughter for two years in a Montessori setting and she was the perfect person for her first school experience. Every day she greeted each child by getting on their level and letting them know that they were safe and loved in her classroom. My daughter’s confidence and independence flourished in Leah’s room. She encourages curiosity, models kindness, sets good boundaries and really helps each child to care for themselves, each other and the earth. Leah offered so many fun ways to learn and taught the kids using a variety of Montessori tools. My daughter loved going to school and still talks fondly about her time with Mrs. Adair. Leah is also fantastic with parents. She is very responsive and always approaches any issues with compassion and a collaborative effort. I felt extremely lucky to have Leah teach my child and I told her many times I wish she could have moved to the next grade to keep teaching her!”

“Our oldest child was very hesitant to begin school, and Mrs. Adair’s calming presence, skill, and care helped him (and us!) acclimate with ease. She provided an environment that was nurturing and supportive throughout his two years in her children’s house. Mrs. Adair also helped guide us in some important academic decisions. We continue to be grateful to Mrs. Adair for giving our son a positive and enriching school foundation”

“Leah (or Mama Eya as my 2 year old calls her) has been such a safe space for not only my kids but me as we navigated our first experience with full time childcare. She is calm and approachable and they easily connected with and loved her. They come home happily exhausted and are always ready for another day of adventures. Little Garden Montessori is the perfect combination of laid-back and intentionality that preschoolers need to thrive!”
