Our Santa Clara Team

Children bring out the child in me. Playing and learning along with my students gives me great joy. I have been an educator, as long as I can remember. I have over 25 years of experience in teaching in various fields. I have been teaching, and assisting with Safari Kid since 2004. I forayed into franchisee ownership in Santa Clara since 2014. I enjoy the arts, dancing and singing with the children. I also administer the program and I am grateful for my wonderful staff. I am also a yoga teacher. You will hear many a ‘Breathe in, Breathe out’ resounding from my facility. I inculcate spirituality in all dimensions of my work. It serves as a beacon in the role that I play in life. I have two Master degrees, one in Curriculum, Instruction and Media Technology from Indiana State University.The other in business. I have worked in the income tax department for the Government of India and had a short stint with Oracle as technical support in the bay area. I am a perennial student. At present, I am studying French and Korean. I volunteer with a non profit Art of Living Foundation. I am proud to have been a mentor and guide to the hundreds of children who have walked into my school and my life.

Hello! My name is Ms. Sumi, and I am a teacher for young children. I have been teaching for over 5 years now and absolutely love working with kids. It has always been my goal to make learning fun, engaging and memorable for the students in my classroom. As a teacher, it is my responsibility to ensure that all of the children in my class are able to reach their full potential while having an enjoyable experience at school. I strive to create an environment where each child feels safe and respected so they can learn without fear or hesitation. Through positive reinforcement and encouragement, I hope to inspire every student in my care to achieve greatness both inside and outside of the classroom.
