Tiny Buds School

You can find us at Jpan 162 in the Oolampara area, right near Peroorkkada in Thiruvananthapuram. We are tucked away a bit, which is nice because it keeps things a little quieter for the small children. The name of the school is Tiny Buds, and we mostly look after the very young ones who are just starting out with their education. The building is more like a house that has been turned into a school space. We have some colorful mats on the floor and some basic toys for the kids to play with during their breaks. It’s not a huge institution with hundreds of people. It’s just a small group of us who come in every day to look after the children while their parents are away at work. We spend a lot of time wiping sticky fingers and helping them open their lunch boxes. The garden has a few swings that we have to oil every now and then so they don't squeak too much. We don't have a big office or a reception desk with a computer. Usually, if a parent needs something, they just walk in and find one of us in the main room. We try to keep things simple and friendly for everyone. It’s a bit chaotic sometimes when all the children are talking at once, but that is just how it goes with little kids. We just aim to get through the day safely.
