Pratham Education Foundation

In play schools, children engage in diverse activities to grow and learn. They run, jump, and dance to strengthen their muscles and coordination. They also draw, cut, and thread beads to improve their hand skills and precision. Through art, building, and playing with small objects, they explore creativity and problem-solving. These activities in early childhood care and education help children develop essential physical and cognitive abilities for a balanced and enriching experience. . . . . . #prathameducationfoundation #education #learning #play #acitivities #khel

Early childhood is a critical period for brain development, as over 85% occurs by age 6. Providing nurturing care and stimulation during these years lays the groundwork for physical, cognitive, social, emotional, cultural, and communication skills. Pratham recognizes the importance of these formative years and actively invests in early childhood initiatives through play-based pedagogy, using local resources and low-cost materials. We actively involve caregivers, especially mothers and volunteers in the community, to implement effective teaching practices and enriching learning activities. . . . . . #prathameducationfoundation #education #learning #didyouknow #facts
