	"Kalki aims to provide a safe place for babies and young children where they are cared for and kept away from the risks of the street"

Kalki aims to provide a safe place for babies and young children from 9 am to 3.30 pm where they are cared for and kept away from the risks of the street. Thanks to Kalki¹s outreach team, children are identified and picked up by bus daily and returned home in the evening.

Children are divided in groups according to their age:

0 to 2: crèche
3 to 4: kindergarten
5 to 6: preschool

After reaching the centre, children are given a bath, clean clothes and breakfast by our early childhood teachers. Daily games and activities are organized for older ones, while babies can rest or simply play. Children in preschool are engaged in informal activities (educational games, drawing, music classes, basics of writing) that will help them once in school.

After lunch, kids can rest and play till it is time to go back to their families. Every evening Kalki¹s van drops them back to their homes, where a teacher makes sure that mothers are waiting for them. A full-time medical expert is on site providing any necessary care or referrals as required.
