Sanam Madampath

Owner & Head of School

As the proud Owner and Head of School of KLA Schools of Sweetwater, Sanam is devoted to creating a warm, inspiring environment where children’s curiosity, creativity, and individuality can flourish. She views the school community as an extension of family—where every child, parent, and teacher is a cherished part of a close-knit circle built on trust, respect, and shared joy. Guided by the Reggio Emilia philosophy, she collaborates with a dedicated team of administrators and educators to design meaningful, hands-on experiences that spark wonder, nurture growth, and ensure children feel deeply known and loved while parents feel supported and confident. Her greatest joy lies in knowing that each child leaves KLA Schools not only well-prepared for the future but also carrying a lifelong love for learning and a lasting sense of belonging.
