Bachpan (Spring Dale) Preparatory School

Tucked away in Street No. 3 over in the Green Vew area, our little school, Bachpan (Spring Dale) Preparatory School, is a busy place for the small kids. Being in a residential-type street makes it feel a bit more quiet than the big main roads of Patiala, which is nice for the younger children we teach. We mostly deal with toddlers and those just starting out with their first books. The building at 65/8 is where everything happens. We have some colorful rooms and a bit of space for them to run around when it’s not too hot outside. It takes a lot of patience to work with this age group, but the staff here is used to the crying and the laughing that happens all at once. We don't have a massive campus or a huge field, but it's enough for what we do every day. Parents usually live nearby, so they just walk their kids over in the morning. We spend a lot of time cleaning up toys and setting up for the next day's activities. It's not a corporate setup at all; it's more like a neighborhood spot where everyone knows each other’s names. Sometimes the front gate sticks a bit in the rainy season, and we have to get someone to look at it. We just try to make sure the kids are safe and learning their basics. It's a simple life here in Green Vew.
