ECCE
About ECCE
The Early Childhood Education (ECE) Program is designed for the holistic development of children aged 3 to 6 years, following a Do, Discover, and Learn approach.
Contemporary research consistently emphasizes that the first six years of a child's life are critical for cognitive development. During this period, the foundations for analytical, creative, and logical thinking are established and nurtured. Socio-economic disparities in our society can affect this developmental phase for some children.
Our child-centric ECE program utilizes an activity- and theme-based teaching methodology, integrating various subjects to create an informal and playful learning experience. This scientific and integrated approach promotes holistic development in children. We collaborate with partners to develop customized, low-cost, reusable materials that align with their curriculum. Additionally, we conduct training workshops for teachers, co-teachers, helpers, supervisors, and parents, equipping them with the tools and techniques to impart high-quality education to children.

Key Elements of the ECE Programme
Anganwadi, Balwadi, nursery, or preschool often marks a child's first experience away from the familiar comfort of home and parental care. It is our responsibility to create an environment where children feel safe, secure, happy, and comfortable while they learn.
Research shows that young children learn most effectively through hands-on activities and play, while interacting with their environment. Recognizing the importance of this developmental stage, we support both government and private-sector pre-schools in establishing cost-effective, high-quality model centers.
We collaborate with the staff at each center to develop layouts, tailored to the specific needs of the children, considering factors such as group size and location. Emphasizing the use of local materials, we work closely with teachers to enhance the learning environment using their ideas and resources.
