    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 17 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. I also manage the Safari Kid in Allen, Texas.

    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 daycare for children in preschool and beyond!
