Hi, we’re Ankur and Amrutha, and we’re so excited to welcome you to Celebree School of Newton. More than anything, we understand what it feels like to look for a safe, loving place for your child. Our own daughter went to a Celebree School in Maryland, and as parents, we experienced the comfort of knowing she was surrounded by care, kindness, and opportunities to grow. That experience inspired us to open a Celebree School , so other families could feel that same peace of mind.
I (Ankur) am a physician with advanced degrees in Public Health and Business Administration, and I’ve spent over 15 years leading organizations built on trust, safety, and compassion. But being a dad has been my biggest teacher. It’s shown me what really matters: creating an environment where children feel safe, happy, and encouraged every single day.
Amrutha, my wife and co-owner, is a dedicated family physician who has been practicing for over 15 years. She has built her career caring for families and supporting healthy communities. She currently serves at the University of Massachusetts, where she continues to make a difference in people’s lives every day. Her medical expertise and perspective as a mom bring an invaluable depth to our vision for our school.
As a family living and growing right here in Massachusetts, this community means so much to us. Celebree School of Newton is not just a center — it’s a place where we can support local families, strengthen our neighborhood, and give our children the very best start in life.
Our mission is simple: to give your child a place where they can learn, play, and thrive — and to give you, as parents, the confidence that they’re in the best possible hands.
We can’t wait to meet you and your little one, and to welcome you into our daycare family.
— Ankur & Amrutha
As parents ourselves, we know that choosing a daycare is one of the most important decisions families make. Our mission is to create a safe, nurturing, and inspiring environment where every child feels at home and every parent feels at ease.
We, Anand Patel and Kavita Amin, bring not only our passion as parents but also years of professional experience in highly regulated industries where safety, quality, and attention to detail are non-negotiable. Anand has built a career in regulatory affairs across leading healthcare and medical device organizations, ensuring compliance and excellence at every stage of development. Kavita, with her background in regulatory affairs and pharmaceutical sciences, has spent over a decade working with global organizations to maintain the highest standards of quality and safety.
These experiences have deeply shaped our philosophy for Celebree School of Newton: a place where every process, every classroom, and every interaction is guided by the same principles of safety, trust, and care.
But beyond our professional backgrounds, we are here as parents. We’ve seen firsthand how the right early learning environment can shape confidence, curiosity, and character. Our commitment is to build a community where your child feels loved, supported, and inspired to grow.
We are honored to partner with you in your child’s journey. Together, we look forward to creating a foundation of learning, discovery, and joy.
With warm regards,
Anand Patel & Kavita Amin
