Bachpan Play School

Our little school is over at Plot 48 in the I Block of Govindpuram. It’s right in the middle of a residential area, so we are surrounded by houses and families. This makes the morning drop-offs pretty lively as neighbors walk their kids over. The building is a converted space that we’ve tried to make as comfortable as possible for younger kids. There are colorful mats on the floor and lots of plastic bins filled with blocks and toys. It’s never really quiet here until after everyone goes home in the afternoon. We have a small outdoor area where they can run around a bit, though it’s mostly just a patch of ground. Govindpuram is a nice place to be, and being in I Block means we’re away from the main traffic. The staff here are mostly local people who live nearby. We don’t have a big handbook or corporate rules; we just look after the children and make sure they are safe while they play. Sometimes things get messy with paint or spilled snacks, but that’s just part of the job. We keep the place clean as best we can. It feels more like a home than a big institution, which is how we like it. Most of the parents are our friends or neighbors, so there’s a lot of chatting at the door when they come to pick up their little ones at the end of the day.
