Mrs. Surabhi Popli, GA Pre-K I Lead Teacher
Hi! My name is Surabhi! I live with my husband Sourabh and our 10 year-old daughter, Miha. We love spending time outdoors and often enjoy peaceful walks by the lake near our home.
I joined Carrington Windermere in July 2022, and since then it has been a truly wonderful experience. Before becoming part of the team, I did my research and learned that Carrington Windermere is one of the best in the area. I feel honored to contribute to a place that is known for quality education, dedicated educators, and the impressive progress it has made in these years.
Working with children has always been my passion—there is never a dull moment! Each day brings something new to learn, and the love I receive from the children and their families is deeply rewarding.
A fun fact about me: I’ve lived in seven different states across three coasts, which has given me a unique perspective and appreciation for diverse experiences and communities.
