A Warm Welcome to Little Lea Montessori
Nestled in the charming, history-rich town of Harrodsburg, Kentucky, Little Lea Montessori preschool brings the timeless principles of Montessori education right into a cozy home setting. Founded and led by a lifelong local whose family has deep roots in the area—stretching back four generations to the 1850s—this in-home haven is more than just a school; it’s a heartfelt extension of community and tradition.

A Family’s Transformative Story
As proud parents who raised our three children immersed in the Montessori world, we’ve witnessed firsthand the profound impact this approach can have on young minds and hearts. From toddlers to early elementary years, our kids thrived in environments that honored their natural curiosity and independence. We saw them blossom not just academically, but emotionally and socially, embracing kindness, empathy, and a deep respect for everyone around them.
The Everyday Joys of Montessori Life
Picture this: daily storytime filled with enchanting tales that sparked imaginations, followed by boundless outdoor adventures—rain, shine, or even a light snowfall couldn’t dampen the fun! Our children reveled in the freedom to explore, create, and connect in a nurturing space that felt like an extension of home. It’s this blend of gentle guidance and joyful discovery that lays the groundwork for lifelong learning, fostering resilience, creativity, and a true love for the world.
Sharing the Gift with Harrodsburg Families
Today, we’re thrilled to extend this enriching experience to families across Harrodsburg and beyond. At Little Lea, we invite your little ones to embark on their own Montessori adventure—one that’s holistic, supportive, and brimming with possibility. Join us in cultivating the next generation of confident, compassionate explorers.
