Rupa and Manjul Shah come from humble beginnings. They grew up in a small town in India and came to the United States through the gift of education. After leading fulfilling careers as computer engineers, they followed their dreams to build their first childcare center when their second daughter was born. Seeking a preschool that offered both a nurturing environment and a fantastic education, they found limited options and decided to create one themselves.Now, as residents of Lithia, Florida, Rupa and Manjul are passionate about providing innovative educational experiences for every child in their community. They are proud parents of two daughters: their oldest is excelling in the medical field, and their youngest is completing her studies at Vanderbilt University. Manjul holds a master’s degree in computer science from the University of South Florida, while Rupa is a licensed occupational therapist. Both bring extensive experience in managing and growing teams, combining their skills to build successful early education programs. With over 20 years of experience owning and operating preschools, Rupa and Manjul have been franchisees with Creative World School for nearly a decade. They are grateful for the support and collaboration within the Creative World family, which includes administrators, owners, and directors. Together, they strive to build strong teams that deliver outstanding childcare through clear communication, shared responsibility, and positive relationships. Manjul enjoys the outdoors, while Rupa loves to travel and immerse herself in new cultures. What excites them most about their work is breaking down traditional barriers in early education to create enriching environments tailored to the unique learning styles of each child.
