Little Dream Watoto Project

The home of Dreams

Where little dreams become big dreams!!!

Overview: (Why we do what we do?)

A large part of Tanzania's population still lives below the poverty line. Furthermore,early childhood education is not readily accessible to those families' whose main priority is to make ends meet. For poor families, it’s often hard to give their children a carefree childhood. This is because many of them cannot afford healthy food, quality healthcare and education. We believe that if we can assist with providing such families with quality education, we can alleviate some of the hardships that they face. According to the United Nations Sustainability Goals for quality education states:

“More than half of all children and teens do not meet minimum proficiency standards in reading and mathematics. Quality education provides an opportunity to learn and grow in a safe environment and is key to preventing poverty, securing long-term employment and improving quality of life.”

Our Vision: is that all scholars who attend our Little Dream Academy have access to high-quality education through sponsorship.

Our Mission: is to support families who live below the poverty line by sharing educational and healthcare costs. Our goal is to promote the social well-being of all children and families through safe high-quality education experiences.

AIM: is to empower children to exhibit confidence, compassion, courage and creativity on the journey to become enthusiastic lovers of life-long learning.

MAIN PROJECT FOR LITTLE DREAM WATOTO PROJECT

Childcare

Little dream Childcare Academy serves;

Toddlers (12 Months to 24 Months): Our Toddler program is

designed to provide each child with a safe and nurturing

environment that will stimulate learning. Teachers actively chart the development of each child and provide parents with daily communication regarding their child’s personal care routine.

Toddler

Two's (24 Months to 36 Months): In the two’s class, teachers

actively work towards potty-training each child. In an effort to

prepare the children for the preschool program, children are introduced to the concept of center play.

Preschool

Preschool/Pre-K (3-5 Year Olds): Our Preschool and Pre-K

curriculum introduces several learning concepts such as

literacy, English, math, and critical thinking skills. Vocabulary development in both English and Swahili is very important at this stage too, as children will begin to learn the art of writing. The classrooms are organized into centers such as reading, science, math, and writing. Furthermore, children are exposed to a print-rich environment, which allows students to associate written language to oral language.

Special Needs Care

24 months to 5 years old

Our special needs programs helps to integrate children into mainstream program. Special needs children are provide care and attention they need in order to continue their education. Early language skills are developed using various strategies that meet the child where they are at.

After-school Program

School Age (Kindergarten through 14 Years): The Little Dream After-school STEM/ Digital Library Academy reading and writing program, engages scholars in an English-based curriculum that supports learning in Science,Math,Engineering and Technology. Our Akili Kwanza Digital Library connects our scholars to a wide selection of books and genres. Students are also able to use our digital library at home if they have access to the internet.
