Ritu Lalchandani

I’m a passionate and dedicated educator with over 7 years of experience in early childhood and primary education, including 3+ years in the IB PYP framework. Currently serving as a Grade 1 Homeroom Teacher and Team Lead, I thrive on creating inquiry-driven, play-based learning environments that spark curiosity and foster holistic development.

My journey began as a Playgroup Teacher and gradually evolved into leadership roles such as Academic Coordinator, driven by my strong rapport with students, parents, and colleagues. I’ve also successfully run my own daycare, embracing innovation and adaptability—skills that continue to shape my teaching philosophy.

A lifelong learner, I actively pursue professional development and enjoy collaborating with teams to design meaningful learning experiences. I'm now seeking new opportunities that align with my vision of nurturing young minds and growing alongside a forward-thinking educational community.
