The establishment of a Day Care Center at Camp Dangwa, La Trinidad, Benguet is a project of the Officers Ladies Club of PRO-Cordillera in coordination with the Municipal Social Welfare and Development and the local government of La Trinidad. The Camp Day Care Center is the 59th day care center within La Trinidad, Benguet accredited by the MSWD. The MSWD personnel who visited the center appreciated the structure and will recommend it to be the model among the other day care centers.
An Orientation Seminar on Day Care Center led by PSI GLORIA G ANTALAN, C, FJGADD, Mrs Prescila Martin, Adviser of PRO-COR Officers Ladies Club and Mrs Irene Tagtag, OIC Municipal Social Welfare Development was conducted on May 6, 2008 at Camp Dangwa Day Care Center attended by the parents, day care workers and members of the Officers Ladies Club of PRO-COR.
During the seminar, Mrs Cristina Anioay, MSWD Focal Person, discussed the Early Childhood Care Development, day care programs and day care services. The seminar is centered to the mother and child care wherein she emphasized on proper child development which affects the performance of the child. She also elaborated on Day Care Programs which include pregnancy, survival and development of the child and stressed particularly good prenatal condition and nutrition to help the child cope up with society. The Day Care Services provide supplementary parental care as well as early childhood development wherein children with ages 3-5 years old are taken cared of during the day and are taught basic learning skills.
On May 12, 2008, the Camp Dangwa Day Care Center started its first day summer class. Teacher Helen Mating with OJT teacher Herlyn Lane Flores have thirty five (35) pupils enrolled in her class. Classes start at 8:00 AM and ends at 11:00 AM. Several learning and fun activities are conducted to make the children’s first school experience memorable and enjoyable. The parents’ support and cooperation is a big plus factor in the success of this project and PRO-COR hopes to make this permanent.
