Hippocampus LearningCentres (HLC), is an organization with a vision to provide children and youth from low-income rural communities with high-quality prospects enabling them to make the most of their power of choice. HLC works in the field of education offering opportunities through its Full School Programme, EnglishSTAR Programme, Training Academy and its own Pre-School Programme which is run in its own establishments and in existing private schools.

VISION

Creating Learning Opportunities, programmes and materials for children and youth in rural India enabling power of choice, and to support rural districts identified by the Government of India.

Preschool programme

The foundation of the programme is to create age-appropriate activities and experiences, towards the holistic development of the child. This 3-year program, targets children between the ages of 2  and 6 years. It is designed to be economically viable for the population it serves and is suited to the cultural context of the child.

At the end of the programme, over 85% of its graduates are able to read and write simple sentences in English and Kannada (the local language), and perform single-digit mathematical operations.

HLC's target is to educate more preschoolers than the entire country of Finland by 2020. By demonstrating improved learning judged at the scale of a European country, HLC aims to help shape policies and markets around early childhood education in emerging economies around the world.
