Appy Kidz International Pre School

We are based in Chintal, Hyderabad, and we run this pre-school for the kids in the neighborhood. The building is a regular house that we’ve converted for classes. It feels a bit more like a home than a big institution. We have several rooms where the kids gather for their activities. There are no big signs or bright lights, just a simple gate and a small yard. The street can be a bit narrow, so it gets crowded when parents come to pick up their children in the afternoon. Inside, we have shelves filled with blocks and picture books. We don't follow any corporate manual; we just handle things as they come. If a kid is crying, we pick them up. If they are hungry, we help them with their snack. It’s a very hands-on job for the few of us who work here. The teachers are mostly women from the local area who know the families. We don’t have an expensive playground, but we make use of the space we have. It’s an honest little school. We don't spend money on big ads because word of mouth in Chintal is usually enough to fill our seats. People know us for being down-to-earth and easy to talk to. We just want to give the local kids a decent start before they head off to big schools. It is just a simple, local place.
