About me

Introduction We passionately believe textbooks do not make a leader; exposure to books and creative experiences does. Our focus is to promote the reading habit from womb to adulthood and to make K.K.Nagar, Chennai, a happening place for children.

We organise:

*Learning Workshop Series: Creative Reading, Writing, Thinking, Problem Solving, Dramatics and lots more.

*Close Encounters with Achievers: Kids interact with achievers in different fields.
