Our wonderful teachers ensure that each child flourishes at Kids Konnect, providing the skills and confidence to build friendships and enjoy learning.

Jheel Jawharkar
SCHOOL OWNER
Hello friends and families! After 20 years in tech and becoming a mom to twins, I transitioned to early childhood education to build a school rooted in community. To me, preschool is about more than ABCs - it’s a safe, supportive space for the whole family. One of the biggest reasons I decided to become a small business owner of a preschool was to build a community that supports children, families and of course, our amazing teachers.

Hello and welcome to Kids Konnect! My name is Ms. Mae and I have been a toddler teacher at Kids Konnect for 15 years.
