This recognition celebrates the award-winning programme for its joyful approach to supporting children as active learners, fostering independence, hands-on exploration, and progress at each child’s unique pace.

“This endorsement is a wonderful acknowledgement of what Little Magic Train is all about: following the child, meeting them where they are, and inviting them to explore with joy, movement, and imagination,” said Gina, Founder of Little Magic Train. “Our adventures turn purposeful play into rich learning moments — helping children build language, self-regulation, and confidence at their own pace while having fun.”

“We are delighted to welcome Little Magic Train to our community of global STAR Endorsed partners. Their child-centred, inclusive approach to learning through sensory experiences aligns beautifully with Montessori principles, fostering independence, curiosity, and joyful exploration in every child.

This recognition reflects our mission to highlight innovative, high-quality educational services that focus on learners’ experiences, empowering educators and families to make informed choices and support meaningful, purposeful learning journeys."
