Kansas City, MO (October 19, 2016) The Guru Krupa Foundation has provided funding to continue Children International’s early childhood development (ECD) program in India for the fourth consecutive year. The ECD program gives kids in poverty a head start as they prepare for primary school.
USAID identifies the early childhood period as “a critical foundational moment in human development.” Citing research from a variety of sources, USAID explains how brain development is at its fastest and most complex during a child’s early years .
By funding Children International’s ECD program, the Guru Krupa Foundation is helping enrich the lives of children ages 3 to 5 by ensuring opportunities for learning and growth. The curriculum for the program is focused on early mathematical skills, language development, hand-eye coordination, and emotional and social development. By mastering these skills early, children are put on the right track for being successful in school.
Children International believes that going to school – and not dropping out – is absolutely essential to building a future free from poverty. That’s why education is one of the organization’s key focus areas alongside health, empowerment and employment. In addition to the ECD program, Children International provides education support in a variety of ways:
