Who makes up your family? (Pets included)
Our family consists of Dhwani (mom), Karan (dad), Zayn, and little sister Nysa.
When did you join the Carrington Academy at Windermere?
We've been part of Carrington Academy at Windermere since August 2024.
What led you to enroll at Carrington Academy Windermere?
As working parents, we were looking for a safe facility with caring and qualified teachers. We also wanted something close to our home with a structured curriculum focused on children’s development. We found all of that here, along with very spacious classrooms. That was especially important to us since the kids would be spending most of their time there.
Can you share what your child(ren) has learned throughout their time with us?
Zayn has developed strong social, communication, and motor skills during his time here. Through daily interactions, he has learned how to share, take turns, express his thoughts clearly, and build friendships. With exposure to extracurricular activities like soccer, he discovered interests beyond academics and found something he truly enjoys outside of books and structured learning.
Are there specific staff that you'd like to highlight or thank?
Ms. Sunita is such a gentle and nurturing soul, giving the children the love and affection they need at that age while also carefully supporting their developmental milestones. Ms. Srilatha (Ms. S) works tirelessly to instill discipline and help prepare the kids for the next grade levels, building a strong foundation for their future learning. Ms. Pallavi is a kind teacher who ensures the children learn important everyday skills, with a special focus on strengthening their communication. She brings so much creativity into the classroom, making activities both fun and meaningful.
A special thanks to Ms. Meena for preparing delicious meals for the children every day, and to every other teacher and staff member who work so hard to provide a safe, supportive, and enriching environment for our kids. We are truly grateful for everything you do.Interesting facts about your family that you'd like to share?
Our family is close-knit and loves spending time together, especially traveling with our kids.
