Young Einsteins Pre School

If you head over to Madhuban in Udaipur, specifically at 50 New Fatehpura Colony, you’ll find Young Einsteins Pre School. It’s a small place, which is probably for the best since we deal with really little kids. The neighborhood is usually quiet, which helps when the toddlers are supposed to be taking their naps, though that doesn't always go as planned. We’ve set up the rooms to be as practical as possible for small children who tend to leave toys everywhere. Being in Rajasthan, it gets pretty hot, so we spend a lot of time making sure the indoor spaces stay comfortable. It’s a bit of a juggle sometimes, managing the schedules and the snacks and the occasional scraped knee. We don't have a giant staff, just a few of us who are here every day. The parents in the colony usually just walk their kids over. It feels more like a house than a big institution, which is something people seem to appreciate. There’s always some sort of finger painting or blocks scattered around, and the walls are covered in whatever the kids made that week. We don't spend much time on fancy decorations; it's more about having a space where the kids can just be kids. It’s a simple, honest little school. We’re just here doing our thing, making sure the little ones are looked after and learning their basics before they move on to the bigger schools.
