The guests spoke with few parents and got feedback about the development of the children.
Mr.Swaminathan says.,
‘’Concepts can be in plenty and great. It has to be implemented to the child’s level. Then it gets the real meaning. This is being done in this center by the team. The patience within the adults of the center is unique.
Your presentation makes them to settle at this very young age and also makes them to think in advance about the questions. The effort of the team is being reflected.
When children call you as ‘’athai, amma’’ it shows the real affection of this age and the need for such compassion.
Concepts are very nice and few children are very bright.
The diction and follow up of the presentation is very good.
Song sequences are very nice to see and hear with visual pictures. The songs are very simple with real message of revealing a theme or concepts which does not focus in the poetic ego of the writer. The songs are easily understood by the children and it is also based on their psychology.
It would like to come again and again. We will also ask others to come. You all deserve a very high regards. I can see happiness within parents. This concept of teaching can be understand only when we come and see than by listening.
On top of all teachers and helpers are very happy in this center.
The name ‘’Namma Veedu – our home ‘’ is really apt.
This reflects the selftual practice and responsibility.
Your food and hospitality is great and children prayed to Ganga that this village must get rain. It will happen. I am very happy and thanking all.’’
