BALWADIES

The Balwadies are generally sponsored by Tamil Nadu Social Welfare Board. But in some of the remote villages where there are no Balwadies run by the government, TSSS started the Day Care Centres. At the Balwadies, we provide childcare services from 9 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. Girls from the community are recruited as teachers.
The time is filled with play, story-telling, arts and crafts, songs, literacy activities, and learning about the environment. Children receive nutritious food and preventive and curative healthcare through the use of indigenous herbal and home remedies. At present there are 11 Balwadies and the details are as follows:
