Outsourcing Impact Award on Education (Silver)
Arcanys Early Learning Foundation
Arcanys, a Swiss software development titan, has pivotally addressed the Philippines' educational gaps through its Early Learning Foundation. This foundation transcends the standard mold, focusing on empowering parents as the early educators and role models their children need. In a country where education's responsibility often falls squarely on the schools, Arcanys fosters a collaborative spirit between home and school, vital for a child's holistic development.
Born in 2012, the Arcanys Early Learning Foundation (AELF) arose from Arcanys' commitment to effect genuine societal change. It's not just a program; it's a movement. A movement aimed at empowering parents, providing free math coaching to children, and transforming the local community's perspective on early education.
Arcanys Early Learning Foundation's reach and impact are profound:
An interesting statistical highlight stems from a partnership with the Chinese University of Hong-Kong: preschoolers with active parental support showed nearly double the improvement in number sense skills compared to their peers.
This significant improvement is a testament to the program's efficiency and highlights the indispensable role of parental involvement. It underscores a crucial insight: when families and communities actively partake in children's education, the outcomes are not just better but transformative.
Central to AELF is the narrative transformation of parents from passive observers to active participants in their children's early education. This paradigm shift, supported by the ChildUp methodology, fosters a love for learning and crafts community leaders.
Algin Abanto's story is a testament to the Arcanys Early Learning Foundation's transformative potential. Starting her journey with AELF in 2012, Algin seamlessly transitioned from a learner to an achiever and finally took up the mentorship role for her younger sibling in 2023. Her story exemplifies the ripple effect of empowerment.
Stories like Algin's amplify the AELF's influence far beyond statistics. They bring to life the profound effects of early education and the transformative power of active community involvement.
