Early Childhood Development Center

Project Overview

The Foundation to Empower Students (FES), Pakistan is dedicated to enhancing Early Childhood Development (ECD) in underserved regions across Chitral, Pakistan. In many of these areas, existing education systems often overlook the crucial developmental needs of children under six years old.

To address this gap, FES in Pakistan collaborates with governmental and non-governmental organizations to establish ECD centers that provide safe, stimulating environments for children aged 3-5. These centers have specialized furniture, tools, and materials that promote physical, socio-emotional, and cognitive development.

A key feature of our ECD centers is the presence of certified Montessori teachers, who play a vital role in fostering a nurturing and enriching learning experience. Their expertise helps children enhance their sensory perceptions and supports holistic development during these formative years.

Through these initiatives, FES is committed to making a lasting impact on the lives of young children in marginalized communities, setting the foundation for a brighter and more promising future.

Current Impact

Located within a low-cost private school, our Early Childhood Development Centre in Booni. Chitral is the first in the area to implement the Montessori Method. We take pride in our fully equipped ECD center, which adheres to the core principles of Maria Montessori. Our dedicated teachers are certified by the Pakistan Montessori Council, ensuring high standards of education.

 

Our ECD Centre moves beyond traditional teaching methods, emphasizing parent involvement through parent-teaching sessions, classroom observations, and storytelling activities.

Currently, the center serves 40 children aged 3-5 years in two sessions, promoting a student-centered learning experience. Over the past three years, our ECD Centre has successfully graduated 60 students, and we look forward to continuing to positively influence the lives of many more young children in the future.
