Redefining the Future of Classrooms

Parita Parekh is driving a global shift in education through her visionary leadership and commitment to teacher empowerment. A graduate of Brown University and Stanford University, Parita combines academic depth with hands-on innovation to reimagine how teachers teach and students learn.

Her work with Toddle, an educator-focused platform, is transforming classrooms across 50+ countries.


From Academic Foundations to Real-World Impact

Parita’s journey began with a deep interest in child development, nurtured during her time at Brown University. At Stanford, she pursued a Master’s in Education with a focus on early learning. Immersed in the tech-driven environment of Silicon Valley, she envisioned integrating technology meaningfully into education—not to replace teachers, but to support them.


Early Beginnings: Toddler’s Den

Before launching Toddle, Parita co-founded Toddler’s Den, an innovative early learning center emphasizing inquiry-based education. The experience highlighted a critical need: teachers lacked effective tools to engage students and track learning outcomes.

This insight became the spark behind her next venture.


The Birth of Toddle

In 2019, Parita co-founded Toddle — a platform built by educators, for educators. Toddle equips teachers with tools for planning, assessment, reporting, and collaboration, helping them work more efficiently and creatively.

As Head of Learning, Parita ensures that every feature is designed with the teacher’s experience in mind.
