SOMESHA (Foundational Learning)
Enhancing early learning skills, school readiness, and foundational literacy and numeracy for children with disabilities.
The Somesha Program strengthens inclusive early childhood education systems to ensure equitable access to quality learning for children with disabilities. By focusing on foundational literacy, numeracy, and school readiness, we lay the groundwork for lifelong learning and development.
We build the capacity of teachers and schools through ongoing professional development, coaching, and mentorship, equipping educators with inclusive teaching strategies and evidence-based approaches tailored to diverse learning needs.
Working in close partnership with National and County education departments, we advocate for the prioritization and implementation of inclusive education policies, ensuring that inclusive early childhood education (ECE) becomes a core part of the education system.
The program also emphasizes school readiness, particularly for children aged 4-8. By developing inclusive teaching and learning materials, we ensure that children with and without disabilities benefit from enriched learning environments that support their growth from the earliest years.
