Kidzenia

If you walk through Abhay Khand-3 in Indirapuram, you’ll find us at number 306. It’s a pretty standard building, nothing too flashy on the outside. We’ve been operating Kidzenia here for some time. Most of the day is just spent dealing with little kids who have a lot of energy. There’s usually some spilled juice or a stray crayon on the floor. We try to keep it clean, but it’s a losing battle until the afternoon when everyone leaves. The street outside can get a bit cramped with cars, especially during drop-off times. We know the neighbors pretty well since we’ve been here. It’s mostly just us and a few helpers making sure the toddlers don't trip over their own feet. We don’t have a massive playground, just enough space for them to move around and play with the toys we’ve collected over the years. Some of the walls have drawings on them that we couldn’t quite scrub off. It feels more like a home than an office. We drink a lot of tea in the staff room while planning what the kids will do next. Ghaziabad weather is tough, so we keep the indoors as comfortable as possible. It’s not a complicated setup. We just show up, look after the children, and chat with the parents when they come by at the end of the day. There is always a lot of noise, but we are used to it by now.
