Enhancing Early Childhood Education through Anganwadi Capacity Building: A CLR Model

This program, developed by the Centre for Learning Resources (CLR), focuses on building the capacity of Anganwadi workers and the community to enhance early childhood education (ECE). It emphasizes acquiring knowledge and skills needed to work effectively with children, fostering positive self-concepts, and facilitating cognitive development through activity-based learning. The model includes tailored training, practical resources, and a monitoring system to ensure best practices in ECE are adopted within Anganwadis. The goal is to improve the quality of ECE and cultivate an environment of nurturing and effective education.
