Dost Education

Dost Education works to ensure that every child in India gets a strong start in life — not through classrooms alone, but through everyday moments at home. We support parents and caregivers to talk, care, and play with their young children (0–6 years), especially in low-resource settings where time, stress, and access are real constraints. Our approach is simple by design and evidence-led at heart: 1-minute phonecasts that reach families on any phone WhatsApp and voice-based tools that make playful parenting doable On-ground partnerships with Anganwadi Workers, communities, and government systems By focusing on responsive caregiving — talking, playing, feeding, and caring with intention — we help children build the foundations for language, learning, and emotional wellbeing long before school begins.

Dost works closely with state governments and ecosystem partners across India, embedding our model within public systems to reach families at scale — while staying grounded in research, learning, and continuous improvement. At our core, we believe: Parents are a child’s first and most important teachers. And play, connection, and care belong in everyday life — not just in policy documents. 📍 India 👶🏽 Early Childhood | Responsive Caregiving | Playful Parenting 🤝 Government partnerships | Research-informed | Tech + Touch
