Kindergartens
Kindergartens are established within the SOS Children’s Village facility. These are fully equipped with necessary teaching tools and infrastructure and employ a play-way teaching methodology. They provide pre-school learning services for children in the village, before they move into formal schooling. Since many of the children’s village facilities are located away from main town areas, this service becomes even more relevant. Moreover children come to SOS Children’s Villages from various back grounds some of them at school going ages and without any previous learning exposure. In such situations the kindergarten facility provides focused individual learning inputs to enable the children to be integrated into formal schooling. They also extend their services to children from needy communities in the neighbourhood of the children’s villages.
