Rangoli Preschool

We’ve been running Rangoli Preschool on Sahastradhara Road for a while now. Dehradun is a nice place to grow up, and our little corner here keeps us busy. Every morning starts with the sound of kids arriving, and honestly, it’s a lot of energy. We just try to keep things organized. The building isn't huge, but there's enough room for the activities we do. Most of the people working here live nearby in Dehradun. We spend our days helping children get used to being away from home. Sometimes it’s noisy, and sometimes it’s quiet when they’re napping. We don't have a fancy office or anything like that. It’s just us and the kids. We make sure the rooms are clean and the toys are put away at the end of the day. Parents drop them off, we say hello, and the day gets moving. There's always something to fix or a spill to wipe up, which is just how it goes with preschoolers. Sahastradhara Road has changed a bit over the years with more traffic, but our spot stays pretty much the same. We have some drawings on the walls and small chairs everywhere. It’s a straightforward setup. We focus on the basics like counting, colors, and playing together. It’s a lot of work, but it feels right being part of the local community here. We just take it one day at a time, making sure everyone is safe and has something to do during the morning hours.
