Our Story Begins with Heart & Purpose
Sparklet Kids Academy blossomed from the vision of Manasa Nagaraj, whose lifelong devotion to Indian Classical Dance and decades of mentoring children inspired a space where learning moves with grace and intention. Her dream took shape in Santa Clara, forming a trusted preschool & daycare serving Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Campbell, Mountain View, San Jose, Milpitas, Cupertino & Palo Alto.
Here, every classroom is choreographed to nurture confidence through caring guidance, curiosity through hands-on exploration, and compassion through community and cooperation.
Families searching for a top preschool near me—or simply the best daycare Santa Clara CA—find a welcoming stage where little learners shine, friendships flourish, and each child’s unique story unfolds with purpose.
“Every child carries a spark of potential that, when nurtured, can light their entire future.”
