Vidya Niketan Montessori School

Our school is tucked away in the Karuna Building right at Toll Jn in Manacaud. It is not a very big place but we have enough room for the little ones to move around. We have been here in Thiruvananthapuram for a good while now. The mornings are usually the loudest time because that is when all the kids arrive. Some of them are excited and others are still a bit sleepy. We have the Montessori desks and all the small chairs that fit them. The teachers here are mostly from around this area so we know the families well. It is a bit of a squeeze sometimes when parents come to pick up their children in the afternoon because the road gets busy. We just focus on the daily routine. There are wooden blocks and puzzles all over the floor by noon. We spend a lot of time cleaning those up. The walls have some drawings pinned up that the kids did. It looks a bit messy but that is how a school for children usually is. We don't have any fancy air conditioning, just the ceiling fans that hum all day. The windows look out toward the junction so you can hear the buses going by. It is just a regular local school where kids come to learn their first letters and play together in a safe spot. We like the way things are here, simple and practical for everyone.
