About Aarti Home and Sanskriti Preschool:Aarti Home is a valued
NGO in Kadapa, Andra Pradesh, South India with many supporters and
over 20 years of experience. Aarti started in the early 1990s as a
shelter for abandoned girl children, but soon the actual problem
was discovered - behind every abandoned child is a mother who is
unable to protect her girl child. Today, Aarti works with both
girls and mothers by providing a shelter and schooling for
abandoned girls, so that they have a chance to live and succeed;
training, livelihood and awareness programmes with mothers so that
they have an economic and emotional independence to make their own
choices and become healthy role-models.
Relying only on donations has proved to be complicated at times,
thus Aarti Home is opening a preschool-kindergarten in June to
become more self-sustainable. Sanskriti preschool's curriculum
provided by an award-winning Indian preschool Intellitots is
innovative, inclusive and aiming to foster creativity and
curiosity. It's balancing latest research in neuroscience, modern
methodology and time-tested pedagogical practices. No
exaggerations, Sanskriti preschool is at least 10 years ahead of
time and a kind of institution you wish you have attended!
