2024 Annual Report

In 2024, DNPF achieved significant success, primarily in Surin province. Here, they expanded in-service training for teachers and caretakers with Surindra Rajabhat University (SRRU), focusing on advanced courses like storytelling and facilitation skills, alongside consistent monthly coaching. This resulted in excellent progress in child development across eighteen centers and enhanced local stakeholder engagement for sustainable Early Childhood Development (ECD). DNPF also collaborated with SRRU and the Surin Provincial Administration on a strategy to upgrade over 500 centers to high-quality early learning centers.

Simultaneously, a pilot project with Roi-Et Rajabhat University (RERU) in Roi-Et demonstrated remarkable success in two centers, with children significantly outperforming control groups. DNPF further expanded its broader engagement to promote high-quality ECD in Thailand, with plans for a regional experience-sharing event in early 2026 for provinces in NE Thailand, expressing gratitude for donor support crucial to their ongoing work.

2023 Annual Report

The past year has further reinforced our strong conviction that Thailand has a huge opportunity to rapidly improve the quality of early childhood development (ECD) for all Thai children. In fact, Thailand already has in place many of the pre-conditions for high quality ECD:

• Development centers looking after children aged 2-4 are in operation in almost every village and community (20,000 across the country and run by sub-district administrative organizations (SAOs).;
• financial resources to pay salaries and purchase food, toys and other materials for the centers are being provided by local authorities; and
• children are keen to learn, and families are eager for their children to get a good education.

Strategy, Progress and Work Program 2020-2022

Currently the COVID-19 crisis has necessitated the closing of all the ECD centers in Surin. During this period the DNPF team as well as members of the Faculty of Education of SRU are endeavoring to support teachers and caretakers and other stakeholders via LINE and other technologies and with a particular focus on helping parents and grandparents in home schooling of their children.

Monitoring Report

Report on EC assessments and age-specific competency development (children 2-3 yearold) in Donraed and Salakdai ECD centers By Dek Noi Pattana Foundation. 

DNPF works on developing the center into a high-quality learning center and develops monitoring mechanisms while also considering implementing guidelines. Additionally, DNPF develops guidelines for teachers to observe children’s competencies in a systematic manner. This is because competencies are individualized guidelines with complete details for ECD following accurate principles.

Progress Report 2020-2021

In spite of the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, DNPF has made good progress in implementing its 2020-21 strategy and work program. In Surin and working closely with the Education Faculty of SRU, teachers and caretakers were advised on how best to help parents and grandparents with home schooling of their children and grandchildren while the centers were closed. Once the centers were re-opened DNPF/SRU was able to resume its full program of activities with respect to in-service training, coaching, monitoring and stakeholder engagement.
