Early Childhood Care & Education
Our Early Childhood Care & Education intervention focuses on building strong foundations in reading, speaking, listening, and learning habits during the early years.
Through play-based learning, storytelling, access to books, and close work with teachers and schools, the program helps children to speak more confidently, participate actively, and remain engaged in everyday classroom learning.
1,38,034
young minds engaged with play-based learning, art and libraries this year
Storytelling Everyday
Aligned with India’s National Education Policy 2020, our Storytelling Everyday sessions weave together stories and visual arts to strengthen reading, speaking, and social-emotional skills in children.
25,759 young learners across 328 schools are joyfully exploring their ABCs
A Library In Every School
We set up mini-libraries in rural schools, putting age-appropriate stories within arm’s reach of rural schoolchildren, sparking curiosity and planting a lifelong love for reading.
These books support the development of reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills, while also helping children understand emotions and build empathy.
1,12,005 children now have access to age-appropriate books.
Voices from the Community
"My kid studies at Vignan School, where the IndiVillage Foundation runs the Storytelling Program. After they started the program, every evening she comes home, sharing new stories.
She expresses herself with her eyes growing wide and her hands in motion. I feel so happy."
