Little Flower Inc. was founded in May 1982. Little Flower is a non-public, independent, tuition-based educational institution which addresses itself to serving the academia, social, and cultural needs to a diverse population of children during the preschool, primary and elementary years. Our mission is to be the leading provider of Early Childhood Education by offering students a competitive advantage in a child-friendly environment using the Montessori approach in all the content areas.
