Our Academy
Rooted in Settegast, built for Houston families. We honor the dignity of every child through a Montessori-inspired, STEAM-rich education.
Our Story
Little Legacy Academy was founded by educator and mother Misha M. Slaughter with one belief: every child deserves a powerful start. From our doors in the Settegast community, we welcome families seeking a more thoughtful, premium early learning experience — one that blends Montessori principles with a signature 26-week STEAM curriculum we call The Little Maker Program.
Our home-like classrooms, intentionally low ratios, and warm educators create a place where children feel safe to wonder, brave enough to try, and proud of who they’re becoming.
Mission
To nurture confident, kind, and capable children through a hands-on early learning experience that honors family, community, and the unique gifts of every child.
Vision
To raise Houston’s next generation of thinkers, builders, and stewards — children who carry forward the values of curiosity, kindness, and craftsmanship.
What We Stand For
Every child is welcomed by name and known by heart.
Outdoor time, gardens, and natural materials shape every day.
Children build, test, and create — not just consume.
Texas-registered with rigorous safety and health standards.
A reflection of the families we proudly serve in Houston.
We model curiosity so children become lifelong learners.
Our Environment
Our classrooms are intentionally calm: natural wood, soft lighting, plants, and child-sized tools that invite independence. Every shelf, every basket, every corner is designed to say to a child, “You belong here, and you can do this.”
