Seed Play School

Seed Play School is tucked away on Krishnasamy 5th Street in Madurai. If you know Krishnapuram Colony, you know it can get a bit crowded with all the houses and small shops. Our place is No.2, and it’s usually easy to find because of the kids' voices carrying down the street. We start pretty early when the sun is just coming up. The parents drop off the little ones, and there is always someone crying or someone laughing. It is a lot of energy to handle before coffee. We have these small chairs and tables that always seem to be in the wrong place by noon. We don’t use big fancy words here. It’s just about getting the kids to eat their snacks and maybe learn a few songs. The street outside is narrow, so parking is always a bit of a headache for the staff, but we make it work somehow. Sometimes we take the kids outside for a bit of air, but mostly we stay inside where it’s cooler. The walls are covered in drawings that aren’t very good, but they are colorful. We spend a lot of time looking for lost shoes or caps. By the end of the day, we are all pretty tired, but then we do it all again the next morning. It’s just a local school for local families, nothing more than that.
