About Us
Nurturing Brilliance, One Little Star at a Time
Welcome to Petite Luminaries Montessori, where every child is seen, heard, and celebrated. We are more than just a school—we are a warm, nurturing community dedicated to guiding children through their most important early years with care, intention, and joy.
"The foundation we build in the early years matters. Through Montessori, we’re not just teaching children to count or read—we’re teaching them to think, to lead, and to care."
Founded by Rasholeen Nakra, a passionate mompreneur and advocate for quality early childhood education, Petite Luminaries was born from a simple but powerful vision: to create a learning environment where children blossom into confident, capable, and compassionate individuals. With a background in strategy and management consulting and a heart rooted in family values, Rasholeen brings both expertise and empathy to every aspect of the school.
