Key Highlights of the Initiative:
1. Gap in Early Childhood Education: Despite MCD running over 1,500 primary schools with more than 700,000 students, there was a lack of early childhood education provisions and teachers. The partnership amongst Integreon, CH, and TEA aimed to fill this void by providing dedicated pre-primary education at the Vinod Nagar and Mandawali schools.
2. Implementation and Training: CH took responsibility for hiring, training, and mentoring teachers for the pre-primary classes. The teachers underwent a five-day in-person training program to equip them with the skills needed to implement a play-based curriculum.
3. Holistic Approach to Education: The ECE program is part of CH's broader mission, which includes remedial learning, digital learning, mental health and wellness, health and nutrition, and career development. The initiative is designed to support underprivileged children across India, fostering a comprehensive approach to child development.
