Planet Hope Education Programs
One of Planet Hope’s key pillars is education. Our Daycare is a place where the toddlers and children of poor families get education by our Playful learning method. The method is developed in-house and is based on the Montessori learning method that focuses on self-directed activity, hands-on learning and collaborative play. The program caters to children who need care and protection because they live in households where their parents have to go out to work.
The children have access to a competent curriculum, skilled and trained teachers and special educational materials which stimulate the young children to learn in a fun but effective way.
Planet Hope provides workshops for teachers to upgrade their teaching skills. To become more impactful and responsive teachers, we developed a curriculum that is mainly focused on innovative and interactive education and teaching methods, in addition to the Indian model. The teach-the-teacher program is provided to all our teaching staff – from daycare to vocational education – by Dutch educational professionals from ROC Mondriaan. By uplifting the quality of the teachers and teaching methods we make a maximum impact for our students. Even in Covid-times the teach-the-teacher program continued online. We are looking to impact teachers in mainstream schools in the future.
