Namya Mahajan, Co-founder of Rocket Learning, in this article, emphasizes that involving parents in the early childhood care and education (ECCE) system can enhance the effectiveness of Anganwadi centers. By understanding and fulfilling parents’ aspirations, like emphasizing English and Math skills, and addressing their concerns, these centers can evolve into true centers of learning. Achieving a balance between free play and structured learning, conducting regular meetings, and raising awareness through campaigns will foster the cognitive and social development of children in the ECCE ecosystem.
