Nimita Shah
Early Intervention Teacher
Nimita began her career as an Early Childhood Educator and specialized in the Montessori Method of Education. During her extensive experience working in the preschool setting, she also met many children who had learning difficulties and who needed additional support. To understand and serve them better, she completed the Graduate Diploma in Child Psychology and Specialist Diploma in Special Needs. Her knowledge in child psychology and special needs, coupled with her experience as an Early Childhood Educator has helped her develop the skills and knowledge required to educate the children with different learning needs.

She also believes that patience, empathy and a positive mind-set is required to make a positive difference. She aims to equip her Champs with skills and strategies to enable them to be confident individuals who can integrate themselves seamlessly in our society.
