Mobile Creches - Activities

ACTIVITIES

A. Holistic Development and Education

This programme is divided into three parts, each especially tuned to meet the needs of different age groups.

The Crèche provides a secure as well as a stimulating environment for children from birth to three years of age. Colourful mobiles, melodious songs, nutritious snacks and the feel of different textures provide a feast for the senses. Stringing beads and building blocks are the links and the foundation of their motor development.

The Balwadi – The “pre-schoolers” are engaged in the process of learning through play, music, drama, puppets, stories and songs. Group play-activity around a low table or in the yard enhance their social/emotional as well as physical/motor development. This prepares them for school in more ways than one. Toys appropriate for this age group and attractive teaching-aids help them to play and learn.



The Non-Formal Education (NFE) - The aim of the NFE programme is to give the child the basic literacy and numerically skills and also the information and knowledge that is relevant to his/her social situation. Also keeping in mind that the children have to enter the mainstream of education, we help to prepare them so that they can gain admission into municipal schools. In addition to academic assistance, we also provide financial aid when it is necessary in the form of scholarships, course fees, book costs, travel allowances etc.
