She designs vibrant, inspiring spaces that nurture curiosity and foster social, emotional, and physical development. To her, every child is a capable and competent learner who deserves respect and care as they grow into their unique identities.

Divya, Educator

Divya has been with the Centre for five years and finds her role deeply rewarding. She loves watching children thrive when given the freedom to learn at their own pace. Observing their curiosity blossom into confident self-learning is what drives her passion. She also values the support and encouragement of her fellow educators, describing the team as “like a family.”
