25 women preschool assistants graduate from MSF training in Saida

Maaruf Saad Cultural and Social Foundation concluded last week a training course in early childhood education, implemented in partnership with the Arab Resource Collective, and aiming at developing the educational capacity of mothers of children enrolled in the Foundations preschools and from the local community.
The six-month-long course was conducted in Al Mada Center for Learning, Development and Partnership which is affiliated with Maarouf Saad Foundation and located in Saida. Some 25 sessions were organised revolving around the following topics: physical, mental, emotional and social development of the child, the right of the child to play, positive and negative disciplining methods, effective listening, conflict resolution, balanced and healthy nutrition, preventing accidents at home, and effective communication with the child.
At the end the graduation celebration held for the occasion, all participants received a certification which hopefully will boost their chances of finding a work opportunity.
