Thirty years ago I was a part of the Montessori learning program under Ms. Sam’s instruction for my preschool and kindergarten education. From what I remember I always felt safe and guided through her teaching style and since
her son and I grew up together in the Coachella Valley, and continued our higher education at UC Davis. Ms. Sam has been an active member of our community as a teacher in every form, from volunteering for AYSO in Palm Springs and Cathedral City, I’m glad to support her as she continues to enrich the minds of the future generations.
We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Ms. Sam as part of our child’s educational journey. The positive environment she created in the classroom has made a lasting difference in our son’s life, and we are truly grateful.
I have known Ms. Sam for over 12 years. She is not only a wonderful teacher but also an amazing person. Her love, dedication, and commitment to the younger generation are truly inspiring. She teaches from the heart and instills strong core values, which I believe are so important. My daughter learned so much from her, and even today, she continues to be a positive presence in our lives. Ms. Sam is truly incredible, and your kids will definitely love her. I am so proud of her for continuing to pursue her passion for teaching.
Samudra Leitan has a history of volunteering her services to AYSO. For many years in the Cathedral City AYSO region. Most recently with the Palm Springs region in the playground division program. This program is for children who are 3- to 4-year-olds. Her knowledge and ability to work with these children was invaluable to the program. She also assisted with physically impaired children, which demonstrated her exceptional ability to work with all children.
She would be a great asset to any program dealing with children.

I’m beyond grateful to have had Ms. Sam as my daughter Isa’s teacher at Montessori School in Palm Springs. Her kindness, patience, and wisdom created a nurturing environment where children felt seen, heard, and inspired. Ms. Sam’s dedication to her students is truly remarkable, and her ability to bring out the best in each child is a gift. One of the most significant impacts Ms. Sam had on Isa was sparking her passion for soccer. Her encouragement and support helped Isa discover a love for the game that has stayed with her. As a parent, it’s incredible to see your child develop a lifelong passion, and I’m convinced that Ms. Sam played a pivotal role in that journey. Ms. Sam’s teaching goes beyond academics; she’s shaping young minds and hearts. Her influence on Isa’s life has been profound, and we’re forever thankful for the time they shared together. I highly recommend Ms. Sam to any parent seeking a compassionate, talented, and dedicated educator.”
