(KKOOM) Early education for Korean orphan toddlers
Organization information
Korean Kids and Orphanage Outreach Mission
Location: Portage, United States of America
Summary
It is well established that children who attend preschool before reaching school age do better in school. In South Korea, children from regular families typically begin attending preschool at age 2. However, due to lack of funding, Korean toddlers living in the social welfare system are unable to attend preschool until they turn 4-years old. Since 2011, KKOOM has provided tuition for 2 and 3-year-old Korean toddlers to attend local preschools. Annual tuition for one child is approx. $4,000 USD.
