From the desk of Programme Co-ordinator…..
It is almost the end of another school year for RCSL’s Early Childhood Care and Education Program!!
At the concluding stages of 2011, about 250 Preschoolers are getting geared up for graduation from Early Childhood Education Program by the ROSE Preschools. This program will ease their way in to primary schooling from next year. For them, it has been an excellent and enjoyable experience in the past two or more years with the carefully designed learning and extracurricular activities of Rose Preschools.
With the 7 preschools which had been established in 2010 and another seven Preschools started in 2011, there are 14 preschools from Kalmunai and Sammanthurai Education Zones in Ampara district with more than 600 children of age 3 to 6 getting access to the Preschool Education under the Rose ECHCE program funded by the OPTIMUS/SWISS Foundation.
Expectantly, in the future Rose Charities Srilanka is setting up the intent, in due course, to increase the number of Preschools in order to enhance access to some form of ECCE to as many children as possible from low income families of Ampara and Batticaloa Districts either through pre-school for the lucky few, or through support programs.
A total of about 32 committed teachers who have been received trainings and the skills in the art of joyful learning dedicate their time with the help of the supervisory staff, coordinators and the remarkable guidance of the Chief Executive Officer Mr. Anthony Richard at the helm.
