Day care prepares for Regional Children’s Congress

Children, parents and day care workers were all amazed by the “Mystical Magical Show” held last August 21, 2009 at the Olongapo City Convention Center (OCCC) thru the efforts of the city’s Association of Day Care Workers (ADCW) in cooperation with the City Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO).

“This project not only aims to establish solidarity between among our day care workers and parents but also to bring together our students’ family members,” said Gene Eclarino, head of CSWDO.

As of today, a total of 55 Day Care Centers and child minding center teach and care for 2,400 children around the 17 barangays of Olongapo City.

“Olongapo is a child-friendly city not only because of the city government’s endeavor to protect the welfare of our little ones but also due to the efforts of our day care workers and parents to protect and support the rights and needs of our children,” said Mayor James “Bong” Gordon, Jr.

Meanwhile, proceeds of the said show will be used to prepare for the upcoming Regional Children’s Congress on October 30, 2009 at the Olongapo City Convention Center wherein an estimated 1,000 children and 3,000 day care workers are expected to participate.
