Keeping Up with Carrington
A weekly newsletter from Carrington Academy at Windermere
The Sengupta Family
Who makes up your family? (Pets included)
Our crew consists of Arnab and Swati, our daughter Arika, and the newest addition to the team—her infant sister, Aryna. We’re a close-knit group that loves exploring the world together, usually with a diaper bag in tow and a lot of curiosity!
When did you join the Carrington Academy at Windermere?
We joined the school in summer 2024.
What led you to enroll at Carrington Academy Windermere?
As parents, we were looking for a high-quality learning environment that balanced nurturing care with a strong educational foundation. The warm atmosphere and the professionalism of the staff at Carrington made it the clear choice for our children’s early development.
Can you share what your child(ren) has learned throughout their time with us?
Arika’s vocabulary and social skills have absolutely skyrocketed! We’re constantly (and often hilariously) surprised by the new words, catchy songs, and big concepts she debuts at the dinner table. More importantly, she’s learning how to be a kind friend and a lifelong learner.
Are there specific staff that you'd like to highlight or thank?
A massive shout-out to Ms. S and Ms. Sunitha in the beginner classroom and Ms. Pallavi in the early intermediate room; their dedication and hard work are the backbone of Arika’s day. We also want to give a warm thank you to Ms. Ashley, Ms. Nicole and Ms. Haley. They work tirelessly behind the scenes to make the entire school feel like a second home for us.
Interesting facts about your family that you'd like to share?
We are a family of adventurers! Whether we are tackling a new DIY project at home, playing on the beach with Arika, or counting down the days until our mountain trip to Glacier National Park, we love staying active together. We are also huge 'foodies'—while we have deep roots in traditional Bengali cooking, we are just as likely to be out exploring Thai, Japanese, Mediterranean, or Mexican flavors. We’re basically raising two little travelers who are learning that the world is a very big, and very delicious, place!
