Note from the Publisher Chennai Kids’ Directory, a family resource guide comes to you from YOCee – www.yocee.in, a news website for Chennai’s young people. This is the third updated edition of the guide. Yocee.in was launched in 2006 to facilitate kids share news from school campuses and neighbourhood happenings through their own reporting in the city of Chennai.The focus is on introducing the children to good observation, reporting, writing and communication skills. The annual Student Reporter Programme launched in June 2007 continues to reach out to kids. This is a year long programme providing opportunity for kids to report news and get published online. Now, more than 50 young reporters across Chennai contribute news for the website. The directory is a by-product of our ongoing efforts to tell the young people what happens where that would be of interest to them. YOCee publishes the info online as well the student reporters report on these events. The growing database of resources at YOCee keeps us updated for bringing out this booklet. As you know, a directory of this kind cannot be comprehensive. We have taken care to provide a fairly representative listing in various fields and in major areas in Chennai. Any omission and error may kindly be excused. We also welcome the resource centres to inform us the details of activities and any change in contact address, phone numbers, so that we keep updating the database for the next edition of the directory. The listings are mainly of the permanent activity centres and are corrected as on March 31, 2012. Information on weekend & holiday activities, summer camps and shows for children are updated on the website www.yocee.in on daily basis. Subscribe to the free enewsletter to know what is on YOCee. Add www.yocee.in as your favourite website, if you have not done so far. Revathi R Publisher April 07, 2012.

ABOUT THIS DIRECTORY AND HOW TO USE IT 1. First of all, this is a directory of activities for kids, school going children in Chennai. This book does not list the other services like party planners, kids shopping, pediatric services etc. 2. The listing of activities is arranged in alphabetical order. (See Index). There are also special sections on centres for special children, libraries and a representative list of major academic institutions for ready reference. 3. Under each category, the listing is area-wise again in alphabetical order. Wherever the centre is also an advertiser in this directory, a reference to the advertisement page is given. 4. The available details about the centres are arranged area-wise. If you do not find an area under a particular activity it means that we do not have any data of centres in that area. 5. This directory has a few pages left blank to help you note down information on centres you come to know in course of your search. 6. We have tried our best to provide the mobile phone numbers wherever possible. 7. We have also tried to provide useful website addresses relating to a few activities under the respective sections. 8. At the end of the book, you will find an Alphabetical Index of advertisers in this directory. They include specialised services for kids. Since they contain information you could use for your child, we recommend you to go through them.
