Meet the Owner

Arvind Aravindhan

Arvind and Karpagam Aravindhan share a deep passion for education, inspired by their own journey as parents. While searching for high-quality early childhood programs for their daughter Priya, they recognized a gap in excellence and nurturing care. Today, Priya is a graduate of George Washington University, and they credit her early education for laying the foundation for her success—an experience that motivated their involvement with Kiddie Academy. Arvind brings extensive experience in education as CEO of the Julian Krinsky School of Tennis, where he has coached players from toddlers to touring professionals. He holds a degree in management and marketing from Erskine College. Karpagam is a scientist at GlaxoSmithKline with a Ph.D. in Biophysics from Drexel University and has volunteered as a teacher at the Plymouth Meeting Tamil School. Together, they own Kiddie Academy of Downingtown and enjoy traveling and hiking with their dog, Charli.
