Chandara Sunder

Executive Director/ Early Childhood Educator

Having lived in the United States for more than 10 years, my family and I moved from the East Coast to the Bay Area in 2014. With an educational background in architecture and design, I first connected with early childhood education by designing spaces where young children live and learn. Inspired by the remarkable development of my own three children and by children’s natural curiosity, I gradually shifted my focus to spending more time learning about early childhood and working directly with young learners. Through this journey, I discovered my true passion lies in nurturing and supporting the growth of young minds.

I believe that PLAY and STRUCTURE are the magic words, and the key is finding the right balance between the two. I strive to provide this balance through the experiences we create for the children. All our programs focus on the development of the whole child, with a strong emphasis on social-emotional growth and self-help skills. Hands-on experiences in safe yet stimulating environments, paired with consistent routines, provide children with a strong foundation to navigate challenges such as self-regulation, separation anxiety, peer conflicts, and problem-solving.
