Ms. Madhavi M.

Pre-Kindergarten Teacher

Hello! My name is Madhavi Mudunuri. I was born and raised in Andhra Pradesh, India, and moved to California in 2000. I speak both English and Telugu. Since moving here, I’ve had the wonderful opportunity to work in both preschool and elementary school settings as a teacher assistant and support teacher.

I have over five years of experience working with young children and am passionate about early childhood education. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Commerce and am a fully qualified Early Childhood Teacher. I truly enjoy being part of a child’s learning journey—watching them grow, discover, and develop brings me so much joy.

Outside of the classroom, I love spending time with my family and enjoy going on hikes during the weekends. My favorite food is vegetable fried rice, and I’m a big fan of Dr. Seuss books for their creativity and fun approach to learning.

At Primrose, the character I relate to most is Katie the Cat, who teaches children about caring and sharing—values that I strive to model every day. I’m so excited to welcome new families and look forward to getting to know you and your little ones!

Prekindergarten Support Teacher

Hi, I am Sumalatha.

I am excited to be part of the Primrose School community. I am originally from Andhra Pradesh, India. I hold a Master’s degree in Mathematics and am a qualified Early Preschool teacher.

I am a caring and enthusiastic educator who loves helping little learners explore the world through stories, songs, and creative play. Every day in the classroom is filled with laughter, learning, and discovery. I enjoy planning engaging circle times, singing songs, and sharing STEM-based stories that spark curiosity and imagination. I believe that children learn best through play, exploration, and meaningful connections.

In my first role as an Early Preschool teacher, I gained valuable experience nurturing young minds at an Indian Immersion School.

Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I also love watching the Avengers movie series.
