"Everyday, the children bring joy, excitement, and new meaning to everything around us. I am continually inspired by their wonder!"

Preethi Chandrasekar

I am a trained and certified Montessori and Special Ed teacher from India . I also have a bachelor’s degree in dentistry . I live with my husband, children and an adorable dog in Sammamish.
As a mother of two children, one of whom attended early childhood Montessori program, I bring with me a mother’s love and care to the classroom. I believe that every child’s mindset is unique and the flow of instruction should be such that no child is left behind. I understand the value of education and the need to inculcate an interest for learning in children early in their lives.  My philosophy as a teacher is, before you start teaching, we need to unlock the child’s heart with kindness and earn their trust and love.
