RAAH Edification has entered into an agreement with Sesame Schoolhouse, America’s largest preschool educator and set up a Preschool at Sector 114, Mohali. Sesame Street Preschool offers quality early childhood education throughout India with its unique preschool and afterschool programmes, where lessons are brought to life by the fun and furry characters of Sesame Street and its Indian adaptation, Galli Galli Sim Sim. The programmes integrate hands-on, project-based learning with creative approaches to foster the critical thinking and problem solving that are fundamental to lifelong learning.
RAAH Edification is a concept, a vision, a dream wherein the passion to learn and educate is the guiding principle.To educate, to train, to unfurl young mind to use their knowledge to change the world, to be curious, to think intensively and critically. Education is a tool which has immense power.
Since the turn of the century, it has been noticed that preschools and day-care facilities have started playing a significant role in the upbringing and rearing of children, sharing the responsibility of raising a child with the parents. An increase in the number of nuclear families, working parents has led to a greater degree of dependency upon preschools.
Ruchi Pant, the director of RAAH feels that while a lot of schools teach facts, what the small, impressionable minds really need to learn are the values. As children grow up, they may forget the facts, they may question the learnings but they will never forget or question the values that have been deeply rooted in them. In order to prepare the children for tomorrow, the preparations need to start today. And that is exactly what RAAH strives for. The dreams are big. The challenges are many. But the will to excel and realise the goals is sufficient to keep us going.
Through its Launchpad initiative, Sesame Street Preschool strives to open new learning centres across India for kids to learn and explore innovative ways of learning. It’s important to expose children to new technology and information in order to hone their skills and gauge their potential too at an early age. Thus, children at Sesame Street Preschool are viewed as scientists, orators, doctors, entrepreneurs, artists, engineers and more.
