Site Director's Bio
My name is Sonal Agrawal and I have been working in the child development field since 2001. Before that I completed my Bachelors of art in India and graduated in 2009 with my associate degree in early childhood education. I found working with children very interesting and thus devoted my last 20 years to these efforts. I believe all kids deserve to have a safe educational environment to learn and grow.
My journey at Tulip began back in 2013 as a pre-k teacher. I am so proud that Tulip provides a great environment for children where we’re focused on lots of educational fun. I always believe that children learn best when the learning environment is designed to meet the developmental needs of each unique child and one that encourages exploration, creativity, and independence.
In my personal time, I enjoy cooking, hiking, gardening, and spending time with my family and friends.

Anu Borthakur
Hello, my name is Anu Borthakur and I am thrilled to say that this is my 6th year in teaching. I grew up in New Delhi, India with a Bachelor’s degree from Jesus and Mary College, Delhi University. I began my teaching career in Stratford School, Sunnyvale, California. I was in London for two years and taught at an International School as an after-school teacher. I have a passion towards working with children and believe that teachers can contribute in building a strong foundation for the society and shape a bright future for the younger generation.
Before taking up teaching as a career, I was working in Pharmaceutical industry in Sales and Marketing as Market Research Data Specialist. I am a trained Indian Classical Dancer, and a proud mother of two, Ayushi and Aarav.
As a part of Tulip family, I am very excited to share my experience with the students and at the same time create a fun, safe and exciting environment for them to look forward to every day!
