F2F classes for Davao City day care centers start September
The City Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO) Focal Person for Early Childhood Care and Development (ECCD) Welfare Program Ellena Gabaton said that the day care centers in the city’s 182 barangays are gearing for blended learning mechanism for the classes of the toddlers (3-4 years old) starting September 12.

Gabaton, in a report from the City Information Office (CIO) clarified that they will not hold simultaneous classes, instead toddlers will be grouped and will not attend classes together.

She said that those in Group 1 will attend face-to-face classes on Mondays and Wednesdays while those in Group 2 will have their face-to-face classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. 

There will be no classes on Fridays so that parents can devote their time to creating activity guides for the remaining days that the children are taught at home, she said.

A maximum of 20 students per classroom will be accommodated if the classroom is big enough. 

Gabaton said that currently, workers, along with the parents and the community are preparing the classrooms and will make them developmentally appropriate and conducive for learning. 

She said the parents are now conducting Bayanihan Bulilit, which is the counterpart of the DepEd’s Brigada Eskwela, where they help the workers to improve the day care centers.

At present, Gabaton said enrolment of children and meetings with parents as well are now ongoing to ensure that by September 9, the children will already have fixed class schedules.
