CHILDHOOD CARE PROGRAM LAUNCHED IN OLONGAPO CITY

City Social Welfare Development Office (CSWDO) formally launched the Early Childhood Care and Development (ECCD) Program of Mayor James “Bong” Gordon, Jr. during the Flag Raising Ceremony held at Rizal Triangle Multi Purpose Covered Court.

The program started with a solemn prayer by Rev. Pastor Fernando Allanague which was followed by a short message by Gene Eclarino, Head of CSWDO.

Mayor Gordon is encouraging both City and Brgy. Officials to take part and cooperate in the implementation of ECCD’s activities.

It can be recalled that the fund allocated for the ECCD for three years was approved through Mayor Gordon’s initiative.

“Mahalagang mahubog nang mabuti ang mga bata mula sa pinaka kritikal na bahagi ng kanilang paglaki na nagsisimula sa pagkabuo nito sa sinapupunan ng ina hanggang sa anim (6) na taong gulang na ito,” said Mayor Gordon, who is also head of the Local Council for the Welfare of Children.

Jenin Santiago, a five (5) year-old Johnson Day Care student of East Bajac-Bajac rendered a song entitled ‘Bright Child, Karapatan Nasa Iyo Isigaw sa Buong Mundo’ which according to Eclarino, is an original composition of Jean Español, a Day Care Worker of Johnson Day Care Center who won the 2007 Regional Children’s Congress Song Competitions.

The ECCD encompasses the full range of health, nutrition, early education and other social services that provide for the holistic needs of young children from conception to age six.

“There are homed-based and center-based programs of the ECCD consisting of Day Care Center, Health Center, Parent Education and Home Visitation.

Early Childhood Care and Development (ECCD) Program target areas are Brgy. Sta. Rita, Gordon Heights, and Brgy. New Kalaklan due to their gigantic population.
