Arulisha Day Care Play School

If you live around Satya Nagar Colony in Kothapet, you probably know where we are. Arulisha is tucked away in a spot that stays relatively quiet, which is nice for the kids. We started this play school because the area needed a place where parents could drop their little ones off without worrying too much. It’s not one of those huge international schools with a swimming pool, it’s just a decent-sized house converted into a learning space. The rooms are filled with plastic blocks, some colorful charts on the walls, and those small chairs that adults can never quite sit in comfortably. In the mornings, it’s a bit of a mess with parents stopping their scooters and cars to drop kids off before heading to work. We have a small outdoor area where they run around, though it gets quite hot in the Hyderabad sun by noon. The staff here are mostly local ladies from the neighborhood who have been with us for a long time. They know most of the families by name. We don’t have a big marketing team or anything like that. People usually hear about us from their neighbors or just see the sign while walking to the market. It’s a simple routine of snacks, naps, and some basic ABCs. The floors get scuffed up by the end of the day and the walls have some crayon marks here and there, but that’s just how it is when you have toddlers running around all day long.
