Early Childhood Education
Introduction
The focus of Pratham’s Early Childhood Education program is the holistic development of children and their readiness for school in the age group of 3-8 years. This is done with the support of mothers, schoolteachers, and volunteers in the community. Holistic development and school readiness include four large developmental domains:
Physical Development: Develop fine and gross motor skills, along with pre-writing abilities and ensure appropriate growth and health
Socio-Emotional Development: Learn to adapt to new settings & people, work in groups, and individual, interaction & interpersonal skills
Cognitive Development: Develop basic problem-solving abilities, along with knowledge of colours, shape, symbols etc that are essential for pre-math
Language Development: Develop basic vocabulary and improve the ability to express ideas confidently, both individually and in groups.
