Lead Infant Teacher
Tanuja Hasan
My name is Tanuja Hasan, and I am honored to be your child’s Infant Teacher. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education and have specialized training in infant care, which allows me to create a safe, nurturing, and developmentally appropriate environment for our little ones. Coming from a family that values kindness, patience, and strong moral foundations, I believe every child deserves love, respect, and gentle guidance. I chose infant education because strongly believe that the first year of a child’s life is the most important for his/her brain development and social and emotional development. I truly enjoy supporting babies through their earliest milestones and building strong, trusting relationships with families. I look forward to partnering with you to help your child grow, learn, and feel secure every day.
