About The CEO

Chandrika Bharath - CEO & Founder

Chandrika Bharath

CEO & Founder

At the center of cuddles preschool is our CEO: Chandrika Bharath - an engineer by training, a mother by instinct, and an educator by choice. Since 2002 she's been building a space where children are not just taught, but understood. Her approach blends structure with softness. Her background in engineering gives her an eye for detail and systems, but it's her lived experience as a parent that shapes the way she sees children - not as boxes to fit into molds, but as individuals who need space, security, and a little spark to thrive.

Every part of the Cuddles experience - from the curriculum to classroom design - reflects her belief that learning should feel like play, and school should feel like home. She stays hands-on constantly updating the program with the newest research and best practices (tried and tested) but never losing sight of the heart of it all: joy.

Whether she's training teachers, planning a new activity, or crouching down to tie a shoelace, she leads with care. And it shows - in the way children settle in, in the way parents trust, and in the way teachers grow. Because childhood comes only once. And our CEO is making sure it counts.

Why Parents Choose Cuddles

Rohit Giri & Shalini M

"I wanted to personally send a quick appreciation note to say how incredibly happy we are with Cuddles. Our son, Nehank Roni, is in the Playgroup Group and we are just thrilled with his progress & truly feel like Cuddles is a home away from home for him. We are happy with our decision to have chosen Cuddles Playgroup for our son & the progressive development we have witnessed has been truly remarkable and a testament to the nurturing environment you have created. We want to specially thank Chandrika Ma'am & Urvashi Ma'am for their patience, warmth, and commitment. Beyond the classroom, the school's immaculately clean premises and careful safety protocols make us feel completely reassured. Cuddles, no doubt take "Play very seriously""

"Panav has been enrolled at Cuddles Preschool since he was around 18 months old, and our experience so far has been truly wonderful. From the very beginning, the teachers and staff have been extremely cooperative, caring, and supportive, making his transition into preschool smooth and comforting. The teachers seem to share a special bond and attachment with each child, and Panav is no exception. Their warmth, patience, and genuine affection have played a big role in his emotional and social development. It gives us great confidence as parents to know that he is in such safe and loving hands. Now at 3 years old, Panav is enrolled in the Nursery class. He is known to be a little naughty at times 😊, but he is also fun-loving, energetic, and enthusiastic. The school does a wonderful job of channeling his energy positively through engaging activities, play-based learning, and creative sessions that keep him interested and happy. Overall, Cuddles Preschool has provided a nurturing, joyful, and enriching environment for Panav’s early learning years. We truly appreciate the dedication of the teachers and staff and are grateful for the strong foundation they are helping build for his future."

"The team at Cuddles is always smiling, kind and treats our child like their own. They commit to communicate regularly with parents and are receptive to any kind of feedback. Our son started with Cuddles on their Toddler Program and then moved to Playgroup. At that time he could only speak one or two-word phrases in the local language and was not social with anyone apart from close family. The staff provided a nurturing environment and was patient while he adjusted. His language skills progressed to 2-3 word phrases in English. His social behaviours improved. In addition, what we find helpful, is the healthy focus that the school maintains, on toilet training and feeding habits. But truly what we liked the most, and felt, had a positive stimulating effect on our child, is the school’s culture of celebration, their strength to make something vibrant and engaging, be it an actual festival or a learning concept."
