This strategy concentrates on a program of early intervention, which addresses the needs of parents with kids aged 0-5 in communities where there is a lot of poverty in both urban and rural areas (Tortorella et al., 2020). The objective of the initiative is to ensure that we provide personalized programs, accessible techniques, and entertaining activities to guide child growth in their respective low-income areas. The program aims to provide personalized services tailored to the needs of each family via delivery channels such as online resources and mobile units to overcome obstacles in early childhood care quality. Funfair interactions with gameplay elements bring about an exciting platform that promotes the mental and societal well-being of adolescents. Conclusively, the plan above is a multi-component that will tackle the acute need for early
intervention in vulnerable regions with a client-oriented, simple but intriguing model.
