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 from preschool and kindergarten up 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 care for children worldwide.

Ms. Deepthy

Teacher

My name is Deepthy Ajithprasad, I am from India and I had been teaching college level and high school level students in India. I have a PhD in language and literature ( my native language Malayalam) and also obtained a bachelor’s degree in Education.

Now I am working in Safari kid Allen as an assistant director before moving to this position I taught the preschool classroom. Working with small preschool and kindergarten age kids is entirely different and lively. It is a big responsibility to create and mold the young minds and to learn day by day how to create a fun learning environment to teach and reach out for kids. I would love to be a milestone for these young learners to achieve a strong foundation for their successful future.
