SRD is running Creche centres at 15 remote backward villages of Nagapattinam District benefiting total of 375 children. Totally 191 girls and 184 boys have attended our creche centres. Our creche teachers ensure that all children get admitted into formal school with the active participation and involvement of their parents. Same way those children above 3 years are admitted in our centres and exposed to play-way method of education at all our centres.
Mothers meeting are conducted every fourth Saturday. Most of the mothers gave their full attendance to discuss about their children and also topics on health, savings and child rearing practices. Thus in a year, 180 meetings are conducted. Even the participation of mothers by their involvement in preparing tea during the monthly meetings and their involvement in running of creche is appreciable. In our centres, we insist that the children are being exposed only play way method and story telling techniques. Those children are nearing school admission are only exposed to numbers and alphabets. Even government teachers appreciate the participation and knowledge of children at formal school.
