American International Preschool

American International Preschool is located at H No 16-11-739/A/1 in Journalist Colony, Gachibowli. This part of the city is usually a bit quieter than the main roads, which makes it a decent spot for a preschool. The building is a house that was changed to fit the needs of small children, so it has a lot of small rooms and a kitchen that always smells like whatever snack is being prepared for the kids. We have some colorful mats on the floor where the children sit for their stories and a bunch of plastic bins filled with blocks and toys that never seem to stay organized for more than five minutes. The walls have some old stickers and posters that are starting to peel at the edges, but the kids like them anyway. In the afternoons, the whole place goes silent for a couple of hours while everyone takes a nap on their little mats. We spend a lot of time tieing shoelaces and helping with lunch boxes that are too hard to open. The gate is always kept locked because we are right on a residential street and we have to be careful. Parents from the colony usually just walk over to pick up their kids in the evening, so there isn’t too much of a car rush. It is a simple, hardworking little place that feels more like a home than a school most of the time.
