Aruna Pundit - Director

With over 30 years experience working with preschool children, Aruna is well-known in the region for her innovative and stimulating pre-Kindergarten program. By creating Aruna's Place, Aruna envisioned the school as a supportive community for all the people that are part of it. She strongly believes that within every child the world begins anew, and she feels privileged to be part of the community that helps the child reach their potential. She particularly enjoys being part of a wider community, as is shown by her involvement in many community activities such as coaching teams for Destination Imagination, serving on the Council on Aging and the Early Childhood Advisory Council, and by founding Sudbury Day, a major event in the community each year.

At Aruna's Place, our teachers are professional, self-motivated, well-educated, creative, and dedicated to making your child's learning experience the best it can be. We focus on nurturing your child's confidence, curiosity, and communication skills, adapting our programs to meet the ever-changing needs of your child.

Each member of our team has been certified to meet not only our own high qualifications, but also those mandated by the State of Massachusetts Office for Children. For more information about us, please contact Aruna directly at arunasplace@gmail.com, or call (978) 460-2452.
