Shanti Juniors Bapunagar

Shanti Juniors is located inside the Shree building in Thane, specifically at B 725. It is a preschool setup that feels more like a home than a school. We are tucked away in a residential part of the city. The space is filled with bright mats and bins of toys that never seem to stay organized for long. Since we are in a building, we do not have a big yard, so the kids play in the indoor area we have set up. The walls are painted with different colors and there are cubbies for the kids to put their bags and shoes. It gets quite lively around nine in the morning when everyone starts arriving. We spend our time doing simple activities, like singing songs or coloring. The neighborhood is fairly quiet, which is good for the nap times. We have a small kitchen area where we keep the snacks and water bottles. The staff is just a few local women who enjoy being around children. It is a simple operation without any big corporate backing. We just try to make sure the kids are safe and learning their basics. The windows look out onto the other buildings in the complex. Sometimes the parents stay for a bit to chat after dropping their children off. It is a very relaxed atmosphere. We do not have fancy uniforms or anything like that. It is just a cozy spot in Thane where children come for a few hours every day.
