Parents in Pallikaranai looking for a preschool — iPlay iLearn in Medavakkam is a short drive south. A number of our families commute from Pallikaranai (and the IT-corridor pockets around it) because they want a play-based, owner-run preschool that doesn't feel like a chain. We have been on Vadakapattu Main Road for 16+ years, with a steady team, low class ratios, and our in-house iEPICS curriculum that blends structured learning with sensory and free play.
Getting to iPlay iLearn from Pallikaranai
iPlay iLearn is at No 29 & 30, Dr Bhakta Reddy Avenue, Vadakapattu Main Road, Medavakkam — Chennai 600100. From most of Pallikaranai, that's a 10–15 minute drive depending on where in the locality you live and the time of day. Many parents drop off on the way to Velachery, Sholinganallur, OMR or the IT corridor — the route makes morning logistics simpler than commuting in the opposite direction. Our drop-off is between 8.30 and 9.00 am, comfortably before most office start times.
Why Pallikaranai families travel to iPlay iLearn
Pallikaranai has its own preschools — but a regular stream of families still choose to travel a few extra minutes to come here. What they tell us at admissions interviews: they want their child to be known by name and personality, not seat number. They want a play-based curriculum that doesn't quietly turn into worksheet-school by Nursery. And they want daycare from a team that the child already trusts, not a separate creche. iPlay iLearn was built around exactly that brief, and 16 years in, it's still how we run.
