Giggles Play School

Giggles Play School is based in Chikbanavara, right on the Hesaraghatta Main Road. Our house number is 15, and it’s a fairly easy spot to find once you get into the main part of the neighborhood. We’ve got a small front yard where we put some plastic slides and swings for the little ones. It’s not a huge playground, but for toddlers, it’s plenty of space to run around and get some sun. Every morning starts with a bit of a struggle to get everyone to sit down and stop crying for their parents. Once they settle in, it’s mostly about playing with blocks, coloring, and singing some songs together. The rooms are painted in bright colors, though some of the walls have crayon marks where the kids got a bit too creative when we weren't looking. We have a few staff members who have been with us for a long time, and they’re really patient with the messy lunch times. You’ll see lunch boxes filled with rice and curd every day at noon. The area around Chikbanavara is growing fast, so there are always new families moving in and asking about our timings. We keep things very simple here. It’s about keeping the kids safe and occupied while their parents are busy. We don’t use any high-tech gadgets; it’s just toys, books, and a lot of patience from the teachers in the classrooms every single day.
