Shanti Juniors Pre School

You’ll find us at Binori Residency, which is right near Sterling City and just behind the Nandeshwar Mahadev Temple. It’s a good location because it’s easy for parents to spot the temple and find their way to us. Our school is basically a ground-floor space that we’ve converted for the little ones. It’s got a very local feel to it. Every morning we open up the gates and get ready for the kids to arrive. You can often hear the temple bells in the background, which is quite nice. We aren't a big chain with hundreds of branches; we focus on the families living right here in the residency and the streets nearby. The rooms are filled with things we’ve collected over time, like puzzles and little chairs. It isn’t always perfectly organized, because that’s just how it goes with toddlers around. We have a small team of teachers who are basically like aunts to the kids. We spend a lot of time on the floor playing and teaching them basic things. Sometimes the plumbing acts up or we have to repaint a wall because of some crayon marks, but we handle it. We don’t try to be anything we’re not. It’s just a simple, safe place for children to be while their parents are busy. We like being part of this community near Sterling City. It feels like home to us, and we hope the kids feel the same way when they’re here.
