Vikas Kindergarten School

Running a kindergarten at Samlong Chowk in Namkum means there is never a dull moment during the day. We deal with the little ones, so it’s a lot of noise, some crying, and a good amount of laughter. Our school is a small place because you don't really need a huge building for small children. We have bright walls and some toys scattered around to keep them occupied while they learn their letters and numbers. It’s a job that takes a lot of patience. Sometimes they don't want to sit still, and that's just how it is with that age group. We try to keep the parents updated when they come to pick them up in the afternoon. The traffic at the chowk can be a bit much, so we have to be very careful when the kids are arriving and leaving. It’s a simple setup. We aren't trying to do anything fancy, just giving them a good start before they head off to the bigger schools in Ranchi. We've got a few teachers who are really good with the children, even when things get a bit chaotic in the middle of the day. It’s just a small, local spot for the neighborhood kids to start their learning. We keep the snacks ready and the crayons sharp, and that’s about it for us. It is tiring but rewarding in its own way.
