It has always been our steadfast commitment to capacitate our Child Development Workers (CDWs), particularly on effective classroom management, to ensure the delivery of quality Early Childhood Care and Development (ECCD) services to our young learners. Through a recently concluded learning visit, our team had the valuable opportunity to observe three (3) recognized Child Development Centers (CDCs) and one (1) National Child Development Center (NCDC) in Masbate City, gaining insights into best practices for structured learning environments and positive classroom management. We extend our deepest gratitude to our Municipal Mayor, Hon. Felipe U. Sanchez, for graciously allowing us to conduct this learning session and for his unwavering, and continued support of the ECCD Program in our municipality. Heartfelt thanks to our Municipal Social Welfare and Development Officer (MSWDO), Maam Leah A. Barruga; your leadership and guidance continually inspire us to pursue professional growth and excellence in service. We are equally grateful for the strong partnership and warm hospitality of the City Social Welfare and Development Office of Masbate City, headed by OIC-CSWDO Maam Maria Hanna D. Mirandilla, and Ma'am Mary Ann Tuason, dedicated ECCD Focal Person. Your wonderful accommodation made this benchmarking activity a resounding success. Lastly, our deep appreciation goes to the Child Development Teachers (CDTs) and Workers (CDWs) of the host centers for opening their doors to us, as well as to all supportive Barangay Captains who generously allowed the child development workers of their respective barangays to participate in this “Lakbay-Aral.” Together, we continue to elevate early childhood education and classroom excellence for our children!
