Following the 2016 EsF Assembly, the Hyderabad, India, community has been working tirelessly to set up programmes to reach more children from low-income backgrounds. An early focus for EsF Hyderabad was early childhood care and education in Aanganwadi centers (early years settings in rural areas) in Andhra Pradesh, India, which lead to the launch of a new initiative called Community Rooted Education (CoRE). CoRE is an initiative to bring Montessori education to underserved communities around the world, especially in remote areas, among migratory tribes, to displaced persons and refugee communities.  CoRE is built upon the Montessori triangle: focusing on the child in its local environment, with adult educators who are rooted in the community and steeped in the local culture trained to use Montessori techniques and materials to support the child is in its development.
