Darwin Public School, Chennai

Montessori education has been her passion and belief system since the first time of experiencing it as a parent with the birth of her daughter. She volunteered to learn to raise her daughter as an independent individual and fell in love with the Montessori method. It was exactly then she knew it would eventually become her career. Shantha is a passionate educator whose leadership approach is deeply rooted in the collaborative and facilitative nature of the Montessori pedagogy. She aims to make a positive difference in the lives of children. As a result of this, Darwin now has an open-hearted environment which encourages children to build independence and social skills as well as be supportive of their curiosities and self-expression.
