Aprendo+ : Expanding Early Learning
from India to Peru
At Rocket Learning, we believe the earliest years of a child’s life build the foundation for everything that follows. Quality early childhood care and education unlocks lifelong potential, yet millions of children globally are still deprived of this opportunity. To address this challenge, Rocket Learning has joined hands with VélezReyes+ to launch Aprendo+ in Peru—a project inspired by our proven model in India and adapted to the Latin American context.
Why Collaboration Matters
VélezReyes+ has long championed early childhood development, recognising that mothers, fathers, teachers, and caregivers are the first and most important educators of children. Their mission—to strengthen nurturing and stimulating environments—aligns perfectly with Rocket Learning’s vision of universal, high-quality early learning. Through this partnership, we are extending our impact beyond India, starting with Peru.
Adapting Aprendo+ for Peru
Through this collaboration, Rocket Learning and VélezReyes+ are adapting this model to serve families in Peru. The project aims to create inclusive digital communities of caregivers and teachers, empowering them with accessible tools that can be easily integrated into daily routines. The initiative works in close partnership with government to ensure sustainability and reach, particularly among vulnerable communities.
Evidence and Impact
Rocket Learning’s solutions are grounded in rigorous evidence. Independent studies have shown measurable improvements in both caregiver practices and child development. This commitment to data and continuous learning is shared by VélezReyes+, making Aprendo+ a project designed not only for reach but also for real, lasting impact.
Shared Vision for Future
The Aprendo+ partnership reflects a bold vision: to build a scalable, cost-effective, and transformative early childhood model for Latin America. By starting in Peru, we are laying the foundation for systemic change within the region’s growing early childhood ecosystem. Together, Rocket Learning and VélezReyes+ are proving that when innovation meets collaboration.
Rocket Learning’s Model of Change
In India, Rocket Learning is one of the fastest-growing early childhood initiatives, currently reaching over 4 million children across 11 states and nearly 20% of the country’s early learning centers. Our approach is simple yet powerful: we use WhatsApp groups to connect families and preschool teachers, delivering easy-to-use digital content that builds playful, engaging, and developmentally rich interactions with children aged 0–6.
Crucially, our model is community-driven. By fostering digital learning communities instead of one-to-one messaging, caregivers feel less isolated and more motivated, encouraging a ripple effect where one parent’s participation inspires another. Supported by behavioral science strategies, this approach has consistently increased caregiver engagement and improved child learning outcomes.
