Established in 2002 the Patong Childcare Center is ACF's flagship
project. Since its inception the project has expanded and is now
providing care and pre-school education to 65 disadvantaged students.
Patong Childcare Center provides its service at no cost to children
who come from single parent families, families with very low monthly
income and families where the main provider can no longer do so due
to illness or old age.
The children are encouraged and guided to develop into creative,
happy and well cared for individuals in
|
defiance of their
impoverished family life. Emphasis is placed on providing a safe,
stimulating and nurturing environment without neglecting discipline.
Apart from the essential educational needs that are met, the children
are provided with basic medical care, food, transport to and from the
center and lots of love. Upon graduation from the pre-school the
children also receive a scholarship from ACF when they take their
first big steps into their local Primary School. |
