About Us

Where Every child's journey beings with joy

A Place to Explore, Discover & Become

At Chempaka, we believe that learning should be natural, meaningful and filled with joy. In a warm and nurturing environment, children feel safe, valued and inspired to explore the world around them with curiosity and confidence. Guided by The Chempaka Way, our child-centred approach encourages self-reliance, creativity and gentle discipline — helping every child learn at their own pace through play, discovery and meaningful experiences.

Through thoughtful care and personalised attention, we support each child in discovering their unique strengths, forming connections and developing a lifelong love for learning. At Chempaka, every child's journey of self-discovery and growth is honoured, nurtured and celebrated — one beautiful step at a time.

Shine from Within

Our History

Founded in 1984 by Vernon Gomez and Daphne Gomez, Chempaka began as a vision rooted in care, values and a deep understanding of how young children learn and grow.

Through changing times, including the challenges of the pandemic, the Chempaka family stood strong—adapting with resilience and emerging even stronger, like a flourishing Chempaka tree.

Today, this journey has grown into a vibrant community of 13 kindergarten annexes and 4 well-established schools. In 2026, we proudly step forward to welcome our Foundation School programme with Grades 1 and 2, continuing our commitment to nurturing confident, happy learners every step of the way.

Team Chempaka

At Chempaka Kindergarten, true leadership begins with love. It is reflected in the care, warmth and purposeful guidance that shape every child's earliest and most important years. Our vision comes alive through a dedicated team that nurtures young minds, inspires curious hearts and gently walks beside every child with intention and joy.

At the heart of this journey are our senior leaders, Heads of Annexes and passionate early years facilitators — a committed team that works hand in hand across all 13 branches in Trivandrum, Kerala.

Together, they create environments that are safe, joyful and deeply enriching, ensuring every child feels valued, cared for and fully supported to discover, grow and flourish.
