WHOLE CHILD EDUCATION AND EFFECTIVE FAMILY COMMUNITY SUPPORT
Holistic Education for children is imperative at all levels with an emphasis on early childhood education. There are two critical components to making children successful adults. The first is introducing children to education that strengthens them spiritually, mentally, physically, and socially. The second is the village to which the child belongs, whether by birth or by circumstance. Winsome Wishes for Kids is committed to guiding both components, especially equipping teachers and schools with information through teacher training and family/community support.

QUALITY EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT AND OPPORTUNITIES
How does Winsome Wishes for Kids hope to facilitate quality early childhood education in Jamaican schools? It is through their primary focus on teacher training. As it stands the early childhood sector in Jamaica is critically in need of partners that will expose them to the best and current early childhood and special needs information that they can implement immediately. One of the biggest challenges is resources both physically and through courses and workshops. Solidifying the relationship and officially partnering with The Windward Institute in New York will get teachers all access passes to the most current training and opportunities in the sectors.
