The first six years of a child's life are critical for their cognitive, emotional, and social development. Investing in early childhood can ensure that future generations of children become successful and responsible adults. Loden initiated its preschool programs in 2008 at the request of local communities, and it has since created five Early Learning Centres for children aged three to five. Loden now operates three free Early Learning Centres in central, eastern, and southern Bhutan after handing over two to the government.
