Our Tribute
Our preschool is nurtured in the cherished home of Late Sri. M R Eswara Rao and Late Smt. Sugunavathi whose warmth and legacy continue to inspire this learning space.
They were a great support to their children & grandchildren, a constant source of guidance and inspiration in their own ways.
Today, each new generation of students who learn and grow within their home stands as a living tribute to their spirit. A legacy that continues to honor their passion for learning and enduring belief in the transformative power of education.
When we imagined Little Lumos, we didn't imagine classrooms first. We imagined children. Children who feel safe enough to ask questions. Children who are not afraid to try again. Children who feel seen — not compared.
We created Little Lumos because we believe childhood is not a race. It is a journey that deserves patience, respect, and warmth.
— Dr. K. Lakshmi Lalithya, Founder & Principal, Little Lumos Preschool, Kakinada
