Principal & Founder
"It is my joy to welcome you to Li'l Treasures Montessori. Our school was founded with a deep belief that every child is a unique gift, created with purpose and full of potential."

"At Li'l Treasures, we see children not just as students, but as little treasures entrusted into our care. We create a safe and inspiring space where they are free to explore, discover, and grow at their own pace."
"Our directresses walk alongside them with patience and respect, guiding them towards independence, confidence, and joy in learning."
"Choosing the right school is one of the most important decisions for your family, and we count it a blessing each time a parent entrusts us with their child's early journey."

A journey of faith, purpose, and dedication to nurturing little treasures
To nurture every child as a precious treasure, fostering curiosity, creativity, independence, and a lifelong love of learning in a safe, faith-filled environment. We aim to develop confident, kind, and resilient children who are equipped to explore the world with purpose and joy.
I'm Shereen Gafoor, founder of Li'l Treasures Montessori. Through my own life, I discovered a heart for children and a desire to help them flourish.
"Train a child in the way they should go, and when they are older they will never depart from it." - Proverbs 22:6
In 2021, during COVID, God placed a vision on my heart to create a space where children could grow academically, spiritually, and personally, discovering the unique gifts He placed within them.
"For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." - Matthew 6:21
The name Li'l Treasures Montessori, and our tagline "A Journey of Discovery," reflect this calling, inspired by Matthew 6:21.
Although I was working at the bank, God called me to take a bold step of faith (Joshua 3:13). I left my job, prepared logos, boards, and other materials, and designed a school in prayer and vision before having a physical space.

Prepared in Faith
In 2022, we found the perfect premises, thoughtfully designed to inspire curiosity and creativity. By December, we opened our doors and were blessed with our first little ones.
Since then, God has continued to add children to the school, and we've grown into a thriving community of families united in purpose

Growing Community
Li'l Treasures Montessori is more than a school! It is a place where children are celebrated as God's treasures, nurtured to grow, and equipped to embark on their own journey of discovery.
Our Mission
To cultivate confident, independent,
and compassionate learners who
flourish in mind, body, and spirit.
At Li'l Treasures Montessori, we believe that nurturing strong values is as important as academic learning. Our approach combines faith-based guidance, character development, and Montessori principles to help children grow into kind, confident, and capable individuals.
Guiding children with biblical principles and nurturing integrity, honesty, and strong moral foundations.
Encouraging children to understand and share the feelings of others, fostering healthy relationships and cooperation.
Teaching appreciation for everyone and everything, embracing differences, and promoting an inclusive, harmonious community.
Helping children take ownership of their actions and decisions, supporting personal growth and accountability.
Encouraging resilience and determination, so children learn to keep trying even when faced with challenges.
Inspiring care for others and generosity, fostering a sense of community and collaboration.
These values are embedded throughout our curriculum and daily activities, including play-based learning,
collaborative experiences, role modeling, and a safe, inclusive environment.
By combining social-emotional learning with faith and character development, we equip children with the tools
to regulate their emotions, communicate effectively, understand others, and thrive academically, socially, and spiritually.
At Li'l Treasures Montessori, we create an environment where children can explore, discover, and learn through their natural curiosity. Our certified Montessori educators guide each child's individual journey of growth.
From practical life skills to sensorial exploration, mathematics to language, every activity is carefully designed to build confidence, independence, and a genuine love for learning that lasts a lifetime.
The timeless Montessori philosophy with a faith-oriented environment that nurtures not only knowledge, but also character, creativity, and a love for learning.
Every child learns at their own pace in a prepared environment designed to meet their developmental needs.
Through tactile materials and real-world experiences, children develop understanding through their senses.
Children develop self-reliance, critical thinking, and confidence through carefully guided freedom of choice.
We nurture the whole child - intellectual, emotional, social, and physical growth in harmony.
