From the moment my child joined Little Feet Montessori, Shaheen’s care and commitment have been obvious in everything she does. With over 25 years of experience in early childhood education, she brings professional skill and a warm, personal touch that turns learning into a joyful, everyday experience. Shaheen doesn’t just teach—she notices the small, meaningful steps a child takes and builds on them with intention.
Educationally, her Montessori approach is thoughtful and rigorous. Lessons are hands-on, paced to each child, and focused on real foundations — early reading, spelling, comprehension, grammar and confident math work — all taught in ways that make sense to a young learner. Even at a tender age, the growth is remarkable. My child, not yet two years old when starting, has learned so much — from everyday courtesies like saying “please” and “thank you,” to recognising shapes, colours, sizes, and even naming all the farm, sea, and continental animals. The fact that this knowledge has been absorbed so naturally and joyfully is a direct result of Shaheen’s engaging and purposeful teaching.
Nutrition and mealtimes are another area where her care stands out. Meals at Little Feet are freshly prepared on site — no preservatives, no junk — and children are introduced to a wide variety of flavours from around the world. My child not only eats well at school but comes home excited to tell us about new foods they tried. It’s clear Shaheen sees food as part of the learning journey: cultural exposure, sensory exploration, and healthy habits all wrapped into lunch and snack time.
What really sets Shaheen apart is the personal connection. She takes time to understand each child’s temperament and learning style, communicates thoughtfully with parents, and creates a classroom where children feel safe to try, fail, and try again. Small, intentional group sizes and tailored activities mean every child receives real attention. She also offers extra support where needed — one-on-one weekend lessons or individualized plans — which shows her commitment to each child’s success, not just to a program.
In short: Shaheen blends deep expertise, nourishing food, and genuine warmth into a learning environment that helps children thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. I trust her completely with my child’s development and recommend Little Feet Montessori to any parent who wants high-quality education delivered with heart.

Couldn’t be happier with Little Feet Montessori
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Little Feet Montessori and to have Shaheen as our son’s first teacher and caregiver outside the home. From the very beginning, she welcomed our 16-month-old with such warmth, patience, and genuine care. Starting daycare is a big transition, and thanks to Shaheen, it has been nothing short of amazing.
In just two months, we’ve seen such wonderful growth in our boy. He’s learning something new every day, developing a sweet, strong and curious personality, and thriving in a nurturing environment.
He now eats so well (even vegetables!), naps peacefully, has started to dance and sing (in his own little way) and looks forward to his days surrounded by other children and most of all, Shaheen.
It’s clear how deeply she cares for the children in her care and not just meeting their needs, but truly understanding them and helping them flourish. She has created something so special at Little Feet, building it from the ground up with dedication, love, and a deep respect for early childhood development.
She also has a wonderful, caring team of teachers and helpers. We are endlessly grateful for the love and guidance she and her team gives our son every day. Knowing he is in such capable and compassionate hands gives us so much peace of mind and joy. Thank you and your team, Shaheen! We appreciate you so much!! -

Thank you Little feet montessori school
My toddler was 18 months when she started coming to Little feet montessori school, so she have been in this place for almost 2 months now. within a month we already noticed so much improvement in her academic progress.
Ms. Shaheen is so great to our daughter and other teachers are amazing as well. They’re true caregivers who wholeheartedly love their profession. We were hesitant to place our girl in daycare, and We didn’t expect our daughter to be able to stay away from us for long hours, and to adjust quickly to new environment, but little feet montessori team proved us wrong.
Our daughter was poor eater as well, but now she eats all her meals and asks for more. She loves the fresh made meals and healthy snacks.
She loves Ms Shaheen and other teachers and so do we. I could see it in her face as soon as we drive up into the parking lot she smiles, claps and makes happy sounds. I have nothing but high praise for the Little feet montessori school staff.
One of the things that truly stands out is the diverse and thoughtfully curated menu that Shaheen has built. My son, who has always been a good eater, now looks forward to the meals as much as he does his lessons. The variety of cuisines offered, from Indian to Persian, Italian, and Chinese, has exposed him to new flavors and made me appreciate the effort put into ensuring the children enjoy well-balanced, delicious meals without any portion restrictions. It’s refreshing to know that my child is not only being well-fed but is also developing a broader palate in the process.
Beyond that, his speech has noticeably improved, and every day I see his social skills developing in ways I never imagined. He is more confident, more expressive, and his interactions with both peers and adults are flourishing. I can’t express enough gratitude to Shaheen for being such a positive and influential presence during these formative years of my son’s life. The attention to detail, the love, and the quality of care at Little Feet Montessori School have made all the difference. Thank you, Shaheen, for your dedication and for helping shape these important years in such a meaningful way.
Shaheen has been supportive and heavily involved with our son since day one. She worked closely with us to make sure the transition was smooth and make him comfortable along the way. It’s amazing how well she has connected with him, to the point where she knows if he had a rough night, based on his temperament at school. She always keeps us informed of his progress and always shares updates, much to our delight. As a toddler he is super picky with eating and Shaheen works hard to help expand his palate and get all the nutrients he needs.
We did a lot of research/ toured lots of daycares and Montessoris and this was one really left an impression on us. Our son looks forward to going to school every morning and one his favourite words is “Shaheen”.
We look forward to seeing his progress and would highly recommend this Montessori to everyone.
The classrooms are beautifully organized, filled with high-quality Montessori materials that invite curiosity and hands-on learning. We love how our child is encouraged to explore their interests, make choices, and develop a sense of responsibility.
The focus on fostering not just academic skills but also social and emotional growth has made such a positive impact on our child's overall well-being
Shaheen goes above and beyond to keep us informed about our child's daily activities, milestones, and any areas for improvement. It's clear that Shaheen and staff genuinely care about each child and work tirelessly to ensure that every day is a joyful learning experience.
Choosing Little Feet Montessori was one of the best decisions we've made as parents. We couldn't ask for a more supportive, enriching, and loving environment for our child. Highly, highly recommend this Montessori to any family looking for the best possible start for their little one's educational journey!
