Together we can make a Difference
Help Us Build an India where every child has access to quality Early Childhood Education, We fight inequity in India by building stronger foundational skills in children in the early years.
"We imagine an India where children grow up to be free thinkers and learners"
ECE is one of the most unregulated spaces in the Indian Education landscape.
While Early Childhood Education is a basic need of every child, for most poor children in India, it remains innacessible. For these children, education inequity begins as early as age 4, impacting them for life.
Only 10% of 5-year-olds can match two pictures that start with the same letter
Only about 17% of them can complete a simple pictorial pattern
82% of them could not complete a 4-piece puzzle
42.7% of them couldn't recognize the letters of the alphabet in their instructional language
Why is Early Childhood Education Important?
Despite research and efforts to improve quality, the gap between different economic sections of society is widening each year in terms of the parent’s ability to provide quality ECE for their children.
