Kidzee

Over at Kidzee in the Navkar area of Balotra, things are usually pretty noisy. Being a preschool, there is always someone crying, laughing, or running around when they shouldn't be. Our place is located right there in Barmer district, and we’ve been part of the Balotra community for quite some time now. It’s a small setup, nothing too grand. We have colorful rooms and lots of toys that have seen better days, but the kids still love them. The teachers here have a lot of patience, which is good because they need it. We spend our days teaching the alphabet, counting, and trying to get everyone to take a nap at the same time, which hardly ever works out. The Navkar neighborhood is where we operate, and most of the parents are just our neighbors or people we see at the market. We don't have any big marketing speeches to give. We just provide a place where little kids can be safe and learn a few things before they head off to big school. The floors get messy with crayons and bits of paper, but we clean it up every evening and start again the next morning. It’s a busy, messy, and very normal little school. We just keep things moving and try to make sure every child gets some attention. That is how we have always done it here in Balotra.
