Groomwell Pre School

Groomwell Pre School is at Plot No. 36, Sector 1, in the Vidhyadhar Nagar area of Jaipur. Since it’s a pre-school, the atmosphere is quite different from a big secondary school. It’s much noisier, but in a cheerful way. There are drawings taped to the walls and little chairs that look like they belong in a dollhouse. The space is a bit cramped because Jaipur property is like that, but we make use of every corner. Parents are always coming and going, especially in the mornings when there’s a line of scooters at the gate. The teachers here have a lot of patience, dealing with kids who sometimes cry or just want to play with the blocks instead of learning the alphabet. It’s a busy little spot in Sector 1. We don’t have a massive field, but there’s enough room for the little ones to run around a bit. The building is a regular house that’s been converted, so it feels a bit like being at home. You can hear the sounds of the neighborhood—cars passing, dogs barking—while the kids are inside singing rhymes. It’s a practical choice for families living around Vidhyadhar Nagar who need a place nearby for their youngest ones. We just keep things simple and try to make sure the kids are safe and occupied until their parents return. It’s a lot of work but that is just our day.
