Working on this campaign for 3 years, have helped United Way of Bengaluru develop a model around holistic early childhood learning. In 2015, United Way of Bengaluru has partnered with Government of Karnataka to scale-up the Born Learning Campaign. Under the new strategy, 10 Government run day care centers will be identified (called as Anganwadis). A need assessment survey will be carried out to identify the infrastructural, educational level, parents involvement level and other relevant requirements. As planned, a detail report of each Anganwadi will be prepared as part of the monitoring and evaluation strategy. The program will concentrate on awareness building initiatives for parents especially mothers, conduct regular health-check-ups in the community and provide additional learning aids to the children to enhance their early learning skills.
The aim and objective of the Born Learning Campaign in 3 years time is:
Some Facts:
How United Way of Bengaluru measures the development in children? Or, what is 126 grading point?
We work with children between 3-6 years of age.
The child assessment is done through the following skills:
Social –cognitive-gross motor – fine motor- language – emotional
Under each skill area, the teacher conducts 12-13 activities to measure their levels. A total of 63 activities are conducted for each child every quarter.
Each activity has a has a maximum weightage of ‘2’ and a minimum of ‘0’
Therefore, each child is graded for a total of 126 points i.e 63*2
