For more than 10 years, the Association for the Promotion of Children, Youth, and Families (APCYF) has operated a ‘Preschool Preparation Center for Children,’ which has provided teaching and learning for marginalized children. These children, primarily from families of migrant workers in the Mae Kha Subdistrict area and Mon Pin Subdistrict of Fang District, Chiang Mai Province, are served by a total of four centers, with 120 students between the ages of 1.8 and 3 years old. Most of the children who attend the center lack identification documents, rendering them unable to enroll in state-run childcare centers. Their parents, who are migrant workers facing financial hardship, often take their children with them during the daytime while they work in orange orchards, exposing the children to chemical hazards. Consequently, these children have not had the opportunity to develop the necessary skills to prepare for formal schooling.
Services for children at the Preparatory Center include organizing activities aimed at fostering development in four key areas and enriching their experiences during early childhood. We offer complimentary lunch to children, along with hygiene and other essential care services, facilitating their holistic growth in physical, emotional, social, and intellectual domains. This comprehensive development nurtures children to mature with quality and empowers them to independently expand their knowledge, enabling them to tackle more complex tasks. Moreover, fostering adaptability and a thirst for continuous learning equips children for successful transitions into public schools. Additionally, we host activities for parents to support and enhance their children’s development at home.
