Early childhood centre
The organisation has set up Early Childhood Centres in various regions of the country. Nursery care for children aged 14 weeks to 3 years, preschool education for children aged 3-5 years, lower primary education follow-up for children aged 5+ are the main components of the program thereat.
The program consists in providing children with the appropriate stimuli for overall development and is based on a culturally informed mother tongue-based psycho-socio-pedagogical approach to learn and develop through active methods.
Families and the community are active participants in the program. This is carried out through the running of self-help programs, arts and crafts activities, follow-up for better access to social services and counselling programs.
Emphasis is also placed on accompanying would-be mothers in a comprehensive antenatal program whereas a home care program is in place to prepare children for admission at the nursery.
