Little Angels Play School

Our place is right on Sindhu Bhavan Road in Thaltej, tucked into Plot Number 30. It gets pretty loud here when the parents start dropping their kids off in the morning. We have these bright mats on the floor and small plastic chairs that are always getting moved around. The kids spend a lot of time drawing on big sheets of paper or playing with the blocks in the corner. Sometimes the paint gets on the floor but we just wipe it up and keep going. It is a busy little spot in Ahmedabad and there is always some kind of noise coming from the play area. We have a few swings outside and a slide that the kids love when the weather isn’t too hot. The PRL Road area is usually busy with traffic so we keep the gate locked tight during the day. Inside, the walls are covered with posters of alphabets and numbers that the teachers put up. We have a small cupboard where everyone keeps their lunch boxes and water bottles. By midday, it usually smells like parathas and fruit because that is when everyone sits down to eat. It’s a simple setup but it works for the families living around here. Most of us have been working here for a while and we know which kid likes which toy. It’s a lot of work keeping up with them but the days go by fast.
