Preschool & Kindergarten Program

​

​Along with helping to create a safe and positive learning environment, your generous giving will also go towards paying the school fees of the children – covering costs such as electricity and utilities; books and stationery and maintenance of the facility; medication and nutritious food supplies. ​

working together is success.”

Matahari Terbit has a formal educational preschool program, which focuses on motor skill development, singing, music and spiritual guidance. As Sunrise Home is designated as an official institution from which local families and couples may adopt, the children must also meet government requirements for adequate daily intake of healthy food to support their best physical motor and brain development. 

 

The preschool program at Matahari Terbit has capacity to cater for up to twenty (20) 3-4-year old children. The learning program starts each year in July and children take lessons in reading, writing, singing, drawing and handcrafts.

 

Traditionally the program has been run by a volunteer until more recently, the need has arisen for one qualified full-time teacher. The minimum salary for the teacher is based on government regulations for a qualified teacher, which is $US280 per month (equivalent to about $AUS90 per week – what some of us pay to fuel up our car each week!)

 

We would like to help be a part of creating and maintaining a safe and positive learning environment for the children at Matahari Terbit. With your help, we can make this dream a reality.
