About Aarti Home and Sanskriti Preschool:

Aarti Home is a valued NGO in Kadapa, Andra Pradesh, South India with many supporters and over 20 years
of experience. Aarti started in the early 1990s as a shelter for abandoned girl children, but soon the actual
problem was discovered - behind every abandoned child is a mother who is unable to protect her girl child.
Today, Aarti works with both girls and mothers by providing a shelter and schooling for abandoned girls, so
that they have a chance to live and succeed; training, livelihood and awareness programmes with mothers so
that they have an economic and emotional independence to make their own choices and become healthy rolemodels.
Relying only on donations has proved to be
complicated at times, thus Aarti Home is opening
a preschool-kindergarten in June to become more
self-sustainable. Sanskriti preschool's curriculum
provided by an award-winning Indian preschool
Intellitots is innovative, inclusive and aiming to
foster creativity and curiosity. It's balancing latest
research in neuroscience, modern methodology
and time-tested pedagogical practices. No
exaggerations, Sanskriti preschool is at least 10
years ahead of time and a kind of institution you
wish you have attended!
