Working with children in a Kindergarten
Estancia Infantil Coralitos
The teachers need support in their classrooms. It is a good short-term project.
Description
Coralitos is a privately run kindergarten with the purpose of taking care of children with working families. The kindergarten works closely with SEDESOL which is a government organization providing assistance to families with low incomes.
Coralitos has 6 classrooms, a kitchen, eating room and patio for games and is open from 7am to 6 pm. The children are aged between 1 to 5 years old.
For volunteers who love working with children, or who want a chance to give Mexican children the opportunity to learn another cultural, this is an excellent place to volunteer.
The goal is to create awareness among children and the parents of the problems of this issue to achieve a profound change in society.
The idea is to focus on individualized care for children who have difficulty in the classroom, to help them with their daily activities and thus find short-term benefits.
At the same time they create and realize the goal of the week as reading, games and recreational workshops, which eventually, if approved by teachers and responsible for the area, will be presented to children with the idea to make people aware of the problem.
