LUNA, Apayao – Thirty-nine newly hired Child Development Workers (CDWs) were oriented during a two-day training session organized by the Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office (PSWDO) on July 29-30, 2024, at Star Jewel Lodge, San Isidro, Luna, to enhance the capacities and strategies of the CDWs so that they are well-equipped to provide daily activities and guidance necessary for the growth and development of children.
Among the topics tackled are the Quality of Early Childhood Care and Development (ECCD), Brain Development, Health and Nutrition, Developmentally Appropriate Practices (DAP), ECCD Forms, the National Early Learning Curriculum, ECCD Recognition tools, and Self Care and Stress Management.
The training likewise focused on preparing the CDWs for the ECCD assessment, providing a complete understanding of the program’s guidelines to improve the quality of early childhood education in the province.
By the end of the training, the CDWs were better prepared to handle the early years of children’s lives, aiming to ensure their success in primary school and beyond. By Michelle Acantilado
