Nursery School Support in The Gambia
Program Overview
Join people and places as we support a training foundation for early childhood education run by a Gambian educator recognized as a leading Early Childhood Development (ECD) practitioner in The Gambia.
The Gambian government has identified early childhood development as a priority and is committed to providing preschool environments to all Gambian children. Thus, a meaningful and accredited ECD program has been developed. However, professionals in this field are practically non-existent in the country, so this project seeks to strengthen the initiative with the help of skilled volunteers.
Volunteers with the following skills and experience are highly welcome:
* ECD professionals
* Nursery and preschool teaching assistants
* TEFL experts
* Creative play development
* Child counselors
* Arts and crafts teachers
* Child nutritionists
* Willingness to share ideas with local teachers about maximizing available free resources and low-cost items would be invaluable
* Education administrators
