Wee Bees Play School

Wee Bees Play School is right in the middle of Balkeshwar in Agra. It's a busy little place, especially in the mornings when parents are dropping off their little ones. We started this because we live here and saw a need for a place where kids could just be kids while learning a few things. It gets pretty loud with all the laughing and running around, but that’s what a play school is for. Our walls have drawings all over them, and there are toys scattered in almost every corner. We try to keep things organized, but with three and four-year-olds, that’s a losing battle most days. The staff here are mostly local women who know the families in the neighborhood. We don't have a giant playground, but we make the most of the space we have. You'll see us out there sometimes when the weather is nice. We spend a lot of time tying shoelaces and helping with lunch boxes. It’s hard work, and by the end of the day, we’re all pretty tired, but it feels good to see the kids growing up. We’ve been in this 282004 area for a bit now. People know us as the place with the bee on the sign. We aren't trying to be the most expensive or fancy school in Agra. We just want to give the local kids a safe spot to spend their day.
