Child Care Centre
A Child Care Centre (CCC) has been established to provide hands-on experience to the trainees undergoing training at the Institute. The Child Care Centre (CCC) aims at the holistic development of the child. It follows the play-way and activity approach to provide a stimulating environment for holistic, i.e., intellectual, social, emotional, physical and language development of the child. The ECE programme is planned to take into account the developmental needs of the children. The child-centered programmes at CCC reflect a balance between individual and group activities, free play and guided activities, active play, indoor and outdoor activities and activities to foster all aspects of development.
To provide a variety of experiences to children, the Centre undertakes activities like free and structured conversation, rhymes, songs, story-telling, story making, music and movement, dramatization, indoor play activities with blocks, beads, puzzles, etc., doll play, puppet play, clay modelling, outdoor games and activities like running, jumping, hopping, balancing, sand play, water play, gardening, nature walk, etc.
Annually the Child Care Centre enrolls 30 children in the age group of 3-4 years from low-income groups belonging to the neighboring localities like Shahpur Jat Village, Hauz Khas Police Colony, and NIPCCD Campus, for the academic session starting from April to March. The center is run for three hours every day from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Every year, the Centre celebrated festivals like Raksha Bandhan, Janmashtami, Holi, Diwali, Christmas, Eid, Universal Children's Day, Independence Day, Republic Day and birthdays of children attending CCC.
