aangun-school

The Aangun Centre for Learning and Culture preschool is helping under-privileged working class children to develop their cognitive, language, social, sensory and motor skills so that they can eventually bridge the development gap that they have to endure due to an impoverished learning environment.

These objectives are achieved through a highly interactive activity-based and child-centred curriculum and pedagogy grounded in the local culture, supplemented with training of teachers and parents and community engagement.

Beneficiaries

  • Pre-school children of age 3 to 5 years from under-privileged and working class families
  • Parents of the children from the community (women domestic workers, cleaning and support staff, religious minorities and other working classes)

While 85% of brain development takes place in the first 5 years, most of these kids loose out on the opportunity for appropriate cognitive development.

Many children go through poor education in schools and colleges, supplemented by poor quality tuition, and end up in low paying jobs, perpetuating a vicious cycle of poverty.

Solution

The Little Art set up the Aangun Preschool, a community-based pre-school for underprivileged children age 3-5 years living in the vicinity of the Centre. It offers immersive learning experiences to children to prepare them for life.

Project-based learning ensures sensory, cognitive, linguistic, emotional and social development of children. It also strengthens the community through inter and intra-community links with the training of families, professional development opportunities for women from the community, and volunteer engagement.
