Dla Academy For Little People The Dla Matrix

We are tucked away at Plot No. 422 on Judges Bunglow Road in Bodakdev. It’s a nice enough spot, though the road can get quite packed with cars during the day. The building is what we call The Dla Matrix, but to the kids, it’s just where they come to play and learn. We deal with the "little people" all day long, so as you can imagine, it’s never quiet. There’s always someone needing a band-aid or someone who lost their shoe. We don't have a corporate office or a big board of directors. It's just us here on the ground, making sure the kids are safe and happy. The rooms are filled with toys and half-finished art projects. Sometimes the place looks like a bit of a disaster zone by 3 PM, but we clean it up and start over the next day. We aren't trying to be the most modern school in Ahmedabad. We just want to be a place where parents feel okay leaving their kids while they go to work. The staff here is used to the chaos. We drink a lot of chai and keep things moving. It’s hard work, but it’s what we do. No big promises, just a daily routine of looking after children. We have a small outdoor area but it gets dusty fast. We just sweep it and keep going. That's the reality of running a place like this in such a busy part of Bodakdev.
