(KPL) An Early Childhood Development (ECD) television show has been deemed a good helper of parents who want to teach their children at home, but are usually overburdened with chores.
Nowadays, children under five years old across the country can learn like students in kindergartens and pre-schools due to the Early Childhood Development (ECD) TV programme “My Village”.
The ECD TV is designed to provide young children with fundamental developmental skills, especially physical, mental, social and mood development.
“My Village” is broadcast every Sunday by Lao National Television on channel 3 from 6:45-7:00 am and on Lao Star Channel from 7:45-8:00 am.
Parents who do not have enough time to teach their children at home or do not have enough money to enroll their children at kindergartens and pre-schools can motivate their children to follow the TV series on televisions or on YouTube.
The child-oriented TV programme is currently comprised of three seasons with the first season consisting of 15 episodes broadcasted in 2013, and the second and third seasons comprised of eight episodes each.
The television series has gained significant acclamation and is supplemented with storytelling, educational songs, and music videos as well as live action.
UNICEF Laos PDR is working with the ministries of Information, Culture and Tourism, Education and Sports, and Provincial Culture Children’s Centres to promote the programme across the country, especially in local communities and in rural and remote areas in order to provide children both entertainment and education.
The “My Village” series is part of a nationwide strategy to strengthen and support Early Childhood Development Initiatives for young children in the country.
It is the first holistic, interactive and inclusive Lao television series designed specifically for and with young children.
The ECD TV programme “My Village” is funded by the Swedish H&M Company through UNICEF Laos. The programme is produced by the Ministry of Information, Culture and Tourism and the Ministry Education and Sports, Lao National Television, and Lao Star Channel.
