Kinderland Preschool

Kinderland Preschool is over here in Malad West, Mumbai - 400064. We’ve been running this place for a while now. It’s mostly just a few rooms where local kids spend their mornings while their parents are at work. Around 10 am, it gets really loud with everyone singing or playing. If you walk by on the street, you can definitely hear them. The floors are covered in those foam mats because toddlers are always tripping over their own feet. Most of our time goes into making sure the kids share the blocks and don't draw on the walls, though someone usually manages to find a stray crayon. Mumbai weather is pretty brutal, so we keep the fans going at full speed all day. It’s not a fancy setup. The walls have old stickers and drawings taped up that have been there for years. Most families live right in the next building or just a couple of lanes over. We know all the names, and usually the grandparents too. Sometimes we have to call a mom because a water bottle was left behind again. It’s just a normal neighborhood spot. We don’t have a massive playground, just a small bit of space for them to jump. Most days end with us picking up tiny pieces of paper and wondering where the glue sticks went. It’s chaotic but that’s how it is with little kids. We just try to keep things steady and safe. The front gate is a bit squeaky, but we haven't found time to fix it.
