Karthikeyan Play School

Karthikeyan Play School is at number 80 in the P W Quarters. It is a small place, really. We started it because there were so many families living right here in the quarters who needed somewhere for their little ones to go during the morning hours. It is basically just a few rooms filled with toys and some small plastic chairs. We spend the whole morning singing songs and trying to get the kids to sit still for a few minutes to eat their snacks. It gets messy sometimes with the paint and the crayons, but we clean it up after they leave at noon. The neighbors at P W Quarters are used to the noise by now. We don't have a big playground, just a bit of space outside where they can run around for a bit if the weather is okay. Mostly, it is just us and the kids. We know every child's name and which one likes the blue truck or the red ball. It is not a big operation, just a local play school for people who live nearby. Parents like that they can just walk over from their houses to drop off their children. We don't have any big signs or anything, just the address on the door. It feels more like a home than a school most days. There is always a lot of laundry to do with all the small towels we use.
