About Us
More Than a Preschool.

More Than a Preschool.
A Place to Begin.
Smiling Rainbows Preschool & Daycare, under the Meenakshi Srinivasan Foundation, is an early childhood learning institution located in Pozhichalur, Chennai. We focus on the formative years of childhood — the years when curiosity is born, confidence takes root, and little personalities begin to shine.
Inside every child is a rainbow waiting to shine. Our classrooms, activities and everyday routines are designed around that simple belief: that every child learns, grows and expresses themselves a little differently — and that difference is worth celebrating.

We want every child to feel confident being themselves.
