Papillon Preschool

If you walk down Sat Rasta-Rang Bhavan Road in Solapur, you’ll find us at 6-Aadarsh Nagar. Papillon Preschool is tucked into the neighborhood here. It’s a small place, mostly just a few rooms filled with toys and little chairs. We started this because there was a need for a spot where parents could leave their toddlers for a few hours. It’s not a big corporate chain. We know most of the families who live around Aadarsh Nagar by their first names. The kids usually come in with a bit of a fuss in the morning, but they settle down once they see their friends. Solapur can get quite hot in the summers, so we try to keep the rooms as cool as we can for the little ones. We don't really do big advertisements. Most people find out about us just by walking past or hearing from a neighbor. The daily routine is simple. There's some drawing, some playing, and maybe a nap if we're lucky. We spend a lot of time cleaning up blocks and crayons. It's a lot of work, but it's what we do here on the road between Sat Rasta and Rang Bhavan. Nothing fancy, just a local preschool trying to keep things running smoothly for the families in the 413001 area. We’ve been at this for a bit and we just take it one day at a time, making sure the gates are locked and the kids are safe.
