Thus, it may seem that, perhaps, thesupervisors do not know much about the activities undertaken at the AWCs to develop certainattributes in children ages 3 to 3.5 years.Similar questions were asked for children ages 5 to 5.5 years. Those responses are shown inTable 10.19A in Annexure -2. It may be noted that only a small percent of supervisors areable to list the activities undertaken in classes for children ages 5 to 5.5 years.10.1.6 Milestones in the development of childrenKnowledge of supervisors on children’s development and growth was further asked by askingto report the ages when children achieve certain milestone in their growth/ development.Table 10.4 presents their answers (model values of ages).Baseline Study Of Early Childhood Care And Development Project In ChattisgarhApril,2012
