Although we are a community centre and not a school, we strive to provide our children with a well-rounded education. Our key carers are fully trained and experienced teachers who understand the complete needs of our children. As well as teaching the children Hindi, English, Mathematics, Science, Music, Arts and Crafts and cooking, our teachers also incorporate social studies into their lesson plans. Our children are taught about nutrition, hygiene and moral issues to help them cope better in their home environment.
Our Teams
Meenakshi Khanna
Director of Education, Training & Students Welfare
Meenakshi joined Harmony House in March 2010 and for over a decade she has been involved in improving our curriculum programme and leading the charge with our education initiatives. She is our very special head teacher who inspires, guides and motivates our team teachers and assistant teachers to ensure our students receive the best education and most importantly making sure Harmony House is a place filled with love, care and compassion both for the children and our staff.
We serve not only the children from nearly slums but also their families and our support staff all come from the same area and most are mothers of our students.
As many women are still not allowed to work in India, they are not independent and self-reliant, therefore by being employed within our centres, which are for both children and women, their families are more receptive for them to come work with us. Besides their regular duties, they are also trained under our vocational courses as per their interests, which opens up more avenues for them apart from being able to contribute towards expenses for their families.
