How a small idea in 2009 grew into one of Chennai's happiest after-school spots.
All the wonderful things a child can learn to do — draw, sing, play, speak.
Lots of little talents, blooming together in one happy bunch.
Put them together and you get a place where skills bloom — every child, at their own pace.
Screens are everywhere these days. Real skills — drawing, singing, playing, speaking up — matter more than ever.
Wife of Mimicry Superstar Kalaimamani Chinni Jayanth, Mrs. Jayashree took over the centre in 2009 — originally started by a friend in 2006 — and reshaped it around a single, ambitious vision.
Her aim: to create a world-class centre offering a variety of courses that nurture talent in young children, in an environment that taps each child's creative skills and supports their overall development.
Kalaa Manjari is a comprehensive, skill-based activity centre for children — a place to discover, practise and master the skills that school rarely has time for.
The centre opened its doors in the presence of innumerable friends, celebrities and well-wishers — on the auspicious day of new beginnings. More than fifteen years and 5000+ graduates later, that spirit of celebration and creativity still fills every classroom.
