Kids Care Preperatory School

You can find Kids Care Preperatory School over at Sarkar House on Purba Para Road in Kolkata. It is situated at number 13/15, which is a familiar spot for those living around this part of town. The school operates out of a building that feels like a home, which is nice for the small children who are just starting out. It isn't a high-pressure environment with big glass walls. Instead, we have normal rooms and a lot of local kids from the neighborhood. Every day, the street fills up with rickshaws and parents bringing their kids in. It is a lively atmosphere, though it can get a bit chaotic when it is time to go home. We have been in this location for a while, and the neighbors are all used to the sound of children singing or playing during the day. The classrooms are filled with the usual stuff—small chairs, chalkboards, and stacks of notebooks. We don't spend much time on fancy decorations; we just stick to the daily routine. There is a lot of talking and running around, as you would expect with children this age. The staff is mostly local people who live nearby, so there is a real sense of community. We just try to keep things organized and make sure the kids are safe and learning their ABCs. It is a simple, honest little school on a busy Kolkata road.
