contents A Program Showcase: Ludeteca Movil Kalinowski, Michael Early Childhood Education Toys Foreign Countries Children Libraries Instructional Materials Motor Vehicles Books Childrens Literature Low Income Groups Volunteers Play This article describes a program that offers low-income children ages 2 to 12 years a space to grow and learn by providing access to toys, books, and educational materials. It is funded by donations of money, toys, and educational materials. The World Organization for Early Childhood Education (OMEP) Mobile Toy Library started in Paraguay in 2001 with the help of the OMEP World Committee and has been working in low-income neighborhoods of Asuncion and nearby cities ever since. Since it relies heavily on volunteers, the Mobile Toy Library moves from one center to another on weekends and is set up in community centers, churches, or schools. Before each visit, the Mobile Toy Library goes to the neighborhoods and explain the importance of play to the parents and other members of the community. Children from 2 to 12 years of age are invited through home visits and posters.
