Kinder Joy Play School

Kinder Joy Play School is located at Shop No 203 on Caves Road in Jogeshwari East. We are right in the Sanjay Gandhi Nagar area, which is a very packed residential part of Mumbai. The school is actually a shop unit on an upper floor, so you have to walk up a narrow set of stairs to get to us. It is a small place, but we have made it work for the play school kids. The room is usually filled with the sound of children playing or singing songs. Outside on Caves Road, there is always a lot of movement—people heading to the station or going about their daily business. Because we are in a shop unit, we don't have a yard or any outdoor space, so the kids spend their time inside the air-conditioned room. We have different corners set up for toys and for drawing. The walls have some fading paint and plenty of tape marks from where old posters used to be. It is a very local setup, and most of the children come from the blocks right here in Sanjay Gandhi Nagar. Sometimes it gets a bit stuffy when there are many people inside, but we open the windows when the weather is okay. It is just a small, humble school that has been part of the Jogeshwari community for a few years. There is nothing fancy about it, just a place for the neighborhood kids to go.
