Knowledge Channel develops curriculum to upskill child dev't workers

Young children in the tourist town of Baras, Rizal are set to enjoy stronger and more engaging early childhood education made possible through Rotary Global Grant, with Knowledge Channel Foundation Inc. (KFCI) playing a vital role in developing the country's first training program to upskill child development workers (CDWs).

Launched last July 7, the initiative, "Kayang Kaya Para sa Bata: Certificate Program for the Upskilling of Child Development Workers," is a six-month professional development program created to address the pressing challenges in early childhood care and education by equipping CDWs with the necessary knowledge, skills, and certification to deliver holistic learning for young children.

The program is funded by Rotary Global Grant #2457741 through the Rotary Club of Makati Premier District (RCMPD), Rotary District 3830, Rotary Club of Cheonan Dongho, and Rotary District 3620. Rotary global grants enable the implementation of larger scale projects, accomplished through international Rotary partnerships.
