This was in compliance to DSWD Memorandum Circular No. 12, Series of 2006 that sets the implementation of the Revised Assessment Tool and User's Manual for the Accreditation of Day Care, Other ECCD Centers and Service Providers.
It primarily aims to evaluate the extent to which a holistic view of a child development has been translated into learner-centered curriculum that includes health and nutritional needs of the Day Care Pupils aged 3 up to 4.11 years old.
The accreditation further assessed parents’ participation and Barangay Officials support to the DCC and ECCD programs.
Heading the team of evaluators was Social Welfare Officer IV of DSWD Region VII Mrs. Lourdes Panerio. She was assisted by her colleague Mrs. Josephine Belotindos and Ms. Perla Dy. Jagna Social Welfare Officer-in charge Marcionila Reyes and her staff facilitated the said three-day activity.
