SAATH has an 18 year, rich experience in Pre-School Education (PSE) through centres known as Balghars (House for children). This education aims to cultivate a learning environment that promotes social, emotional, cognitive, physical and psychological development through non-formal learning activities. The program targets children from marginalized communities, preparing them for a formal education. Its significance is two-fold. First, is the direct influence on development of a child through early stimulation, and second, its potential contribution to the national goal of universal elementary education. SAATH considers PSE an integral part of its goal towards inclusive city development.
