Co-Founder & Academic Lead | 25 Years of Excellence in Education
Priyadarshini Rao Kondela is the academic leader and co-founder of Little Lumos Preschool in Kakinada. With over 25 years of experience in education, she shapes the learning philosophy that guides every classroom.
“Every child carries a light within them. Our role as educators is to protect that light and help it shine through curiosity and creativity.”
— Priyadarshini Rao Kondela
With more than 25 years of experience in education, Priyadarshini brings deep, practical wisdom to Little Lumos. That experience informs how the school designs its days, supports its educators, and partners with families.
As Academic Lead, she ensures that the school's warm philosophy translates into real, thoughtful practice in every room, every day.
Priyadarshini's guiding belief is that every child is a capable learner. She leads Little Lumos's Reggio Emilia inspired philosophy, where education is built on exploration, collaboration, and respect for the child.
Rather than delivering ready-made answers, educators under her guidance encourage children to observe, question, experiment, and discover — the foundation of genuine, lasting learning.
Priyadarshini guides the Little Lumos curriculum so that learning through play and child-led inquiry sit at the centre of the day. She also champions a close partnership with parents, so the same caring, consistent approach flows between home and school.
