Oxford Armenia Foundation in partnership with Nor Arar educational NGO based in Vanadzor, joined efforts to design an innovative professional education program for preschool teaching teams. This pilot program aims to develop the social-emotional and literacy skills of preschool children through mindfully designed planning materials integrating a set of 6 storybooks. The project is now being implemented across 3 preschools in the Lori region for 12 weeks. The next phase consists of monitoring and evaluating the early educational program both from the children's development and the teaching staff's perspective.

Together with Nor Arar, we aim to provide nationwide professional education opportunities to empower teachers to better prepare children for their educational journey.
