State President’s Message
“In the middle of difficulty lies the opportunity.” – Albert Einstein

That is how our Tamilnadu Play Schools Association, TNPSA, got started. We gathered while all the preschools had a threat, and we rose together, creating lots of opportunities to improve our standard. We strengthened ourselves by getting our institutions recognized and helping each other go through the recognition procedures. Now we are achieving better heights with every team of elected administration committee through their services to the society.

Our motive is to provide, through our preschools, a safe and joyful atmosphere, following age-appropriate early childhood education, giving each child the best first impression about schools and education, and preparing the child to move comfortably and confidently onto wider, bigger primary education institutions. We also ensure high standards of teaching and learning, with methodology followed across the countries.

Tamilnadu Play Schools Association was the first of its kind, and now we have been the inspiration for many play school associations in various cities in Tamilnadu. We are proud that we are integrated under one roof of the Tamilnadu Preschool Welfare Association.

Thank you!
