Dost Education

Dosti Se Bana Dost! From an unexpected meeting at UC Berkeley in the year 2015 to transforming Early Childhood Education in India, Sneha Sheth and Sindhuja Jeyabal’s friendship laid the foundation for Dost Education. Their mission to enable school readiness for every child in India and empower low-income families has reached millions, across 6 states in India, and continues to grow. But the heart of Dost Education isn't just in the vision of its founders—it's in the passion of our dedicated team who work with families and enable them to get their children a better start in life. In our journey over the last 7 years we have worked with over 600,000 children. Here is what our team members had to say about Dost: "The collaborative spirit at Dost makes every challenge surmountable. We are not just colleagues; we are a family working towards a common goal."  - Aronee Ghosh, Director, Research and Operations "Working with Dost has been an incredibly fulfilling journey. Seeing the impact of our work on families and children across India is a daily reminder of why we do what we do." - Manjeet Singh, Partnership and Operations Manager "Every day, we're driven by the stories of parents who, through our programs, have been able to give their children a better start in life. It’s these stories that keep us motivated and passionate." - Kamla Bisht, Senior Associate, Operations, Uttarakhand See the full interview of the founders: https://lnkd.in/ddasJ6BU #DostSeBanaDost #BaateinSnehKhel #DostEducation #FoudnersDay #EarlyChildhoodEducation #TalkCarePlay #TransformingEducation

Play can be a key enabler for children to learn especially in the years 0-3 , was a insight I learnt reading about play when UNICEF and The LEGO Foundation worked to declare 11th June as the #InternationalDayOfPlay. Was so insightful to put this panel of experts together working on the intersection of #Play and #Learn and discuss #BateinSnehKhel is the best form of learning at home.

Unlocking Potential Through Play In a world that often prioritizes structured learning, it's crucial to remember the transformative power of play in early childhood education. On the first-ever International Day of Play, Dost Education joined hands with Lively Minds, QUEST Alliance, Rocket Learning, and EkStep Foundation to celebrate the magic of play and its role in building essential life skills in children.

At Dost Education, we're committed to transforming parenting behaviors for the better! Our CEO & Co-founder, Sneha Sheth, shares insightful thoughts on the challenges and importance of promoting non-violent discipline. "Why is it so hard for parents to change their actions if the research is clear?" It's a common question. The key lies in making positive behaviors the easier choice. At Dost Education, we introduce playfulness and connection to foster responsive parent-child relationships, making nonviolent discipline more accessible. #PositiveParenting #EarlyChildhoodEducation #NonViolentDiscipline #BehaviorChange #DostEducation #BaateinSnehKhel

The success of our intervention lies in its ability to reach the most marginalized communities of India and actively involve families in their children's holistic development. Our flagship phonecasts allow families across all castes, income, and education levels in resource-starved communities to access relevant information on early childhood development that can be easily incorporated into their daily routines of talk, care, and play. Since our beta launch in 2017 with 300 users, we have grown to support over 280,000 families to create a safe and nurturing home environment for their children's holistic development. This growth is a testament to the need for accessible educational resources and the effectiveness of our approach in meeting these needs. #TalkCarePlay #PlayMatters #ChildDevelopment #EarlyEducation #BaateinSnehKhel #Impact
