Our Cupertino Team

Prior to my current role, I worked at Building Kids in Mountain View, where I gained experience with various age groups, including infants (5–12 months), toddlers (2–3 years), and preschoolers (3–4 years). Over the past five years, I have taught in the US, Canada, and India, working with children from 5 months to 6 years old.

I am deeply passionate about teaching and fostering growth in young learners. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling and spending quality time with my family and friends.

My name is Suhasini Ramakrishnan. I hold a master’s degree from India and preschool teaching credentials in early childhood education and site supervisor permit . I have had the privilege of being a part of Safari Kid since 2013. After spending 4 years teaching level-2 class, I was excited to expand my role at Safari Kid as the program director.I have been an educator for about 16 years now.

In my spare time, I love to travel with my husband and two children exploring new places and trying out new cuisines.

Together with my amazing team of dedicated and creative teachers, I am committed to create and maintain an environment where your child can grow to their fullest potential. Thanks for sharing your children and being a part of the Safari Kid family.

Education
Master of Commerce from India
Master Teacher – Early childhood education
Behavior Specialist
PhD- Early childhood Education (Pursuing)

I love the childcare industry because I believe in nurturing. I am passionate about crying, smiling, diapering, crawling, running, singing, jumping, and all aspects of the growth and development of the child. Also, I understand that early childhood educators can positively impact the child’s growth.

I was one of the first teachers at Safari Kid. I have been in Safari Kid for the past 20 years. I am a teacher at heart and love the opportunity to nurture future leaders to help effect positive social change in the world. I currently manage the Safari Kid centers in Milpitas, Sunnyvale, and Cupertino in Bay Area filling my cup to the brim and my heart because it’s the job I love to do the most. 

My specialties include child-centered learning, service learning, standards-based assessment, curriculum writing, and training.

In a “previous life,” I was a state-level chess player and athlete, winning many awards and recognition. I have completed Master’s in Commerce and have several units related to child care and Montessori education and currently pursuing my PhD in early childhood education.

I discovered my passion for teaching in high school, where I taught underprivileged children. My love for teaching brought me to Safari Kid, and I am honored to see it grow and establish itself throughout the world, helping and caring for children. I consider Safari Kid an opportunity to pursue my dream of bringing world-class education and care for children worldwide.
