About Us
Transforming Anganwadis and Renewing Abilities
Dedicated to making a lasting impact on the early childhood education sector in Anganwadis, the TARA Project is a visionary initiative. It introduces a meticulously designed, structured, and theme-based curriculum that encompasses the crucial developmental domains of language, numeracy, cognitive abilities, physical prowess, creative expression, and socio-emotional skills.
Understanding the importance of continuous evaluation and personalized learning, the TARA Project incorporates a robust system of continuous assessments. Teachers can regularly gauge the progress of each child and identify areas where additional support is needed. This data-driven approach allows for tailored instruction and ensures that every child receives the attention and resources required for their individual growth.
To engage and captivate young learners, the TARA Project employs a blended learning model. Traditional face-to-face instruction is skillfully combined with interactive digital resources and technology-based tools. This dynamic combination creates an immersive and stimulating learning experience, fostering a love for learning and exploration among children.
What sets the TARA Project apart is its commitment to catering to the unique needs of each child. By offering differentiated learning experiences, the project ensures that educational materials and methods are customized to accommodate diverse learning styles, strengths, and challenges. This individualized approach empowers children to thrive and grow at their own pace, building confidence and a sense of achievement.
For children aged 3-6 years, the TARA Project includes a specially tailored early childhood education program. Aligned with the curriculum of the Integrated Child Development Scheme (ICDS), this program guarantees a seamless transition from the Anganwadis to formal education. By following the ICDS curriculum, the TARA Project aims to equip children with a solid foundation, enabling them to adapt to future academic challenges comfortably.
The TARA Project represents a paradigm shift in early childhood education, delivering a comprehensive and transformative experience for children attending Anganwadis. With its structured curriculum, continuous assessments, blended learning strategies, and differentiated learning experiences, the project aspires to shape a new era of educational excellence for young learners, empowering them to reach their full potential and thrive in all aspects of life.
OBJECTIVES OF THE TARA PROJECT
Our goal is to revolutionize early childhood education in Haridwar through the TARA Project. We aim to enhance learning outcomes for children aged 3-6, improve their nutritional status, and provide essential upskilling to over 300+ Anganwadi workers across 150 centres.
In collaboration with Square Panda India, a renowned global education company, the Government of Uttarakhand has undertaken this project with a shared mission of transforming the education system and supporting all stakeholders involved.
