Krishnapriya 

Montessori Guide

An electrical engineer with a background in IT, I've always been drawn to holistic and sustainable approaches to learning and education. This passion led me to delve into various educational philosophies, such as Montessori, Waldorf, and Wild schooling. Additionally, I completed a comprehensive teacher training course offered by the Krishnamurthi Foundation in India, which provided profound insights into child development and education through the lens of Jiddu Krishnamurthi's philosophy.

My journey as an educator began by teaching students in government schools through an NGO. Working with children has been a transformative experience, reminding me of life's simplicity and the importance of cherishing every moment. I firmly believe in the uniqueness of every child and recognize that s/he has her/his own individual learning pace.

In 2022, I joined the Bumblbees school community, motivated by their commitment to nurturing children's passion for learning. Through extensive Montessori training at Bumblbees, I've been able to translate my educational interests into practical methodologies that cater to the holistic development of every child.

Being someone who thrives in nature, I find solace and inspiration outdoors. My personal experiences have reinforced the profound connection between humanity and the natural world, highlighting the importance of fostering environmental consciousness in education. I am convinced that by instilling a deep sense of appreciation for nature and sustainable practices in children, we can cultivate a more rejuvenated and environmentally conscious society.

Overall, my journey as an educator has been shaped by a commitment to holistic learning, a belief in the uniqueness of every child, and a passion for fostering a deep connection with nature.

Charchika Tripathi

Montessori Guide

I have completed my graduation in BCom and Post graduate in MBA(finance). 

I started teaching in a traditional school in my native, this is how my teaching journey started. While teaching I persuaded my B.Ed.(commerce).

My journey as Montessori adult started in Bumblebees in year 2023. The Montessori methodology and psychology was a very new thing for me, under Sai Lalitha ma’am supervision I am learning how to use the Montessori materials and practices. I am learning how to observe a child and how it helps an adult to work with a child, as every child is different and so working with them.

As Montessori believes in learning through exploration, I am able to explore my areas of interest as an art and craft lover with children.

Young minds are amazing! They soak up everything with full excitement. It’s magical to see how they learn by themselves, solve problems on their own and I love how their eyes light up whenever they discover new things.Watching their joy and curiosity inspires me everyday. They remind me to see the world with fresh eyes, which keeps things fun for me too.

Barnali Roy

Nido Assistant Guide

I'm a mother of a four 4 years old boy and a family maker. I'm a graduate from Calcutta University (West Bengal) and worked in automobile industry for 15 years as a Zonal Corporate Marketing Head. Then, I was caring for my new born son for three years and worked as an independent digital marketer. Though the jobs had a lucrative salary, once my son started off to school I choose my dream profession and now I am associate with Bumblbees Casa Del Bambini as an assistant teacher in Infant Community. I really enjoy my work. I always wanted to do something for the community and after my baby was born, I realized this is the best way I can do something for our future generation, for our children. I am not a trained Montessori teacher but always follow the principles of Maria Montessori to support the development my own kid. Montessori school gives the toddlers an independence to self-teach one through adolescence. So, for me it’s very important because I feel without independency no one can grow up. I choose to join Bumblebee because my son used to come this school as a student of Infant Community and I saw his improvements. I personally met with adults and feel their sensitivity, understanding, listening skill, patience and ability to remain calm in stressful situation. I enjoy learning and working with children here.
