For more than three decades, Door Step School has designed and delivered quality education solutions that reach children where they live—on streets, in slums, transit settlements, and other underserved rural and urban areas . Starting with work for out of school children, the work three decades back focused on bringing such children under the fold of formal education. With changing time the focus of the work has shifted to provide quality education for building a strong foundational learning at an early age. To ensure each child from the slum and underserved communities goes to school, our mobilizers and teachers work tirelessly in the communities, bringing awareness about early childhood education. We run Balwadi’s (Preschools) in urban slums , right at the door step of the children. Our balwadi’s ensure that a child’s first introduction to school is joyful via our play based methods and focus on developing overall gross and fine motor skills. School readiness approach ensures children are ready for formal schooling and their parents are made aware of admissions, schooling and learning milestones. 

In alignment with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, and the overarching United Nations Sustainable Development Goals—SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities), we work with school going children in Class 1 to Class 4 for Foundational Literacy and Numeracy via study classes in slum communities and direct classes in collaboration with 100+ municipal schools. Each child gets personalized focused attention for reaching the academic milestones, while learning with joy.
