Our Story

The People Behind Little Odyssey

A founder who has spent 15+ years shaping how young children learn, and a Whitefield team trained to carry that mission forward every single day.

Little Odyssey was founded by Ms. Chaitra Reddy, an early childhood educator with more than 15 years of experience. Before starting Little Odyssey, she ran Cambridge Montessori Pre-School, building a deep, hands-on understanding of what early education actually requires — not just curriculum, but the right pace, the right environment, and the right people.

Little Odyssey has been operating for nearly three years and has grown into a franchise network of 5+ branches. Every centre is built on the same play-based, sensory-first philosophy and is backed by expert training and ongoing support from the parent brand — so a Little Odyssey classroom feels the same whether it's in Whitefield or anywhere else.

"So happy that we got a good, quiet school for my kid — she already likes it a lot. We noticed she's getting enough individual care and her academics are improving. My husband decided to continue here for UKG too. Happy school, happy kid. Thank you Swetha mam and team!"
