Loden Early Learning Centres
Loden Early Learning Centre in Ura
The Loden Foundation opened its first Early Learning Centre in Ura in April, 2008. With the experience gained from the first Centre, Loden opened its second Early Learning Centre in Changmari, Samtse in mid 2009. The centre was founded at the request of the local people and successfully completed its third and second year respectively.
There are many day care centres and kindergartens in the cities but no place for early child development and learning in rural parts of Bhutan. This puts the rural children at disadvantage in education. Loden Early Learning Centres aim to give equal opportunities to the rural children and help them gain an early start in education.
With Rinzin and Pema in Ura ELC and Hema, Juna and Om Prakash in Changmari to look after them, the children learnt motor skills, letters, numbers, nursery rhymes and some games. Until now about 150 children graduated from the Centres. We are hoping to expand the programme across Bhutan.
You can donate funds, children's books, toys and nursery rhymes to support our centres. Contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
