However, through regular parents- teacher meetings, follow-up home visits and motivation/recruitment camps we are particular about actively involving parents in their child’s development.

ASSISTANCE DURING ADMISSIONS:

Intimidated by the admission procedures, illiterate parents often feel discouraged and do not even attempt to put their child in school. Every year at the time of admission, Aarohan staff assists parents in the procedures for admission. Older children, who have never been to school are tutored for a year and then admitted into classes that match their level. Since 2005, we have admitted over 750 children in the schools.

EARLY INTODUCTION TO STRUCTURED LEARNING:

We believe that early exposure to education is a must for parent and child and therefore run a nursery school in the Jagadamaba Camp slum area in Sheikh Sarai, New Delhi. Beginning early, we prepare children from the ages of 3 to 5 years for a good start to school. Teaching through play, coaching them on personal hygiene and social skills, these children are more prepared to enter a structured learning system. This has become our flagship project.

PROVIDING AN ACADEMIC SUPPORT SYSTEM:

After admission, subsequent academic support is being provided after-school hours. This would help them to cope-up with their syllabus as well as a mid-day meals/snacks. Our main aim is to strengthen each child’s basic reading, writing and arithmetic through our after-school hours support system so that they are less likely to feel overwhelmed and discontinue their schools.

BEYOND ACADEMICS:

With the goal of providing holistic development to each child, our students are taught etiquettes and social decorum and are given resposibilities of the organization as well. On numerous occasions, we have watched our children show themselves to be confident, self-assured young people who can participate on public platforms with ease. In addition to education we provide vocational training to entitle them for a respectful living/earning.
