More insights about our work

AELF teacher Sherlyn Balcos conducts free math coaching with Jezekiel and Jerpaul, and their moms, Jenelyn Delara and Danilyn Andraque, in Barangay Ermita.

The AELF provides free math coaching not only for children but also for their parents. Session after session, each beneficiary parent increasingly becomes their child's first teacher and role model.

This child is learning how to order numbers by playing with ChildUp Cards. Each deck of ChildUp cards is specifically designed to be a fun and effective tool for teaching children and empowering parents.

Children playing in Barangay Pasil, one of the three (3) densely populated and low-income areas of Cebu City where the Foundation operates. We also work with communities from barangays Ermita and Suba.

The Arcanys Early Learning Foundation is a team of 14 academics, experienced educators, and early learning advocates.

Capacity Building workshops are organised to help parents strengthen their relationship with their children, covering daily life topics such as education, health, etc.

Math Olympics are organized at the end of each 3-month training cycle. Children show their skills in math learnt during the program.

Math Olympics are also an opportunity for parents to highlight what they learned aside from coaching their children, such as child development and behavior management.

Chandrea and her mom, Juvelyn Rosales, had online sessions with teacher Ivy in barangay Pasil, last November 2021, as AELF had to adjust to the Covid-19 pandemic restrictions by moving its coaching sessions online.

Since its creation in 2012, AELF has catered to more than 5,000 families from low-income communities in Cebu.
