We’re so happy to shine a spotlight on Ms. Sujata, our nurturing and dedicated Lead Guide in the Monet Primary Community at Crescent Montessori!
Ms. Sujata joined the Montessori School of Silicon Valley in November 2021, stepping into the classroom as an Assistant. With her deep love for children and commitment to growth, she soon became a Studio Lead, and in May 2023, she embraced her current role as a Primary Lead Guide. Her journey in education began years before in India, where she volunteered for three years at a preschool and worked with a local NGO supporting food access and medical resources for underserved children. Her compassion and service-oriented heart shine through in everything she does.
To deepen her understanding of early childhood development, Ms. Sujata completed coursework at Mission College and just graduated with her Montessori Primary Credential through MTEC this June! She’s wholeheartedly invested in Montessori education, drawn to its emphasis on independence, self-paced learning, and the beautiful unfolding of each child’s unique potential.
What inspires her most? The joyful milestones of watching a child write their first letter on their own or beam with pride after solving a challenging puzzle. These are the everyday triumphs that fill her with joy and purpose.
Outside of the classroom, Ms. Sujata recharges through peaceful walks, meditative moments, and scenic hikes. Recently, she picked up the ukulele and has been teaching herself through online tutorials! But her most cherished time is spent with her 12-year-old daughter, whose bond brings warmth and laughter to her days.
A fun fact about Ms. Sujata is that she has a rare gift for connecting with people of all ages. Whether she’s deep in conversation with a toddler or chatting for hours with someone in their eighties, she finds joy in meaningful dialogue and values the insights that each generation offers.
We are grateful to have Ms. Sujata as part of our Montessori family. Her calm presence, joyful heart, and unwavering commitment to each child’s journey make the Monet Community a truly special place to grow and learn.
