1.INTRODUCTION
“The child is one of the most important assets of the nation.
Every effort should be exerted to promote his welfare and enhance his
opportunities for a useful happy life.”

EARLY CHILDHOOD CARE AND DEVELOPMENT

 refers to the full range of health, nutrition, early education and social
services development programs that provide for the basic holistic
needs of young children from 0 to age 4 and to promote their
optimum growth and development.
 a multifaceted process of development: physical cognitive,
emotional, social, and spiritual covering the period from pregnancy
through the transition from home or ECCD programs into primary
school.
 as an outcome, in ECCD, a child is “physically healthy, emotionally
sound, socially competent and ready to learn.”
Well-designed Early Childhood Care and Development (ECCD) programs
can help children overcome glaring deficits in their house environment.
Sufficient quantity of manipulative devices and games, high quality,
affordable Child Development is considered “essential brain food for the
next generation. “Experience is the chief architect of the brain. A child
grows and develops not in a vacuum but in a family, a community, a
culture and a nation. A child’s rights and needs must be therefore be
holistic and multidimensional through programs that are deeply rooted
within families and communities. We can use the existing strength of
families, communities and social structures for positive child rearing
practices and the strong desire of parents to provide the best for their
children blending what is about the best environment for optimum child
development.

It reaffirms the fact that the children, because of their vulnerability, need
special emphasis on the primary caring and protective responsibility of the
family. The Child Development Worker or ECCD Service Provider stand
behind, assuming a very important role in the implementation of the
National Early Learning Curriculum and integrated Education in

CDC/ENROLLMENT FILES

 ECCD Focal Person, Municipal Social Welfare and Development

Officer have access to all children’s files for the purposes of
maintaining licensing regulations and to support teachers and
classrooms in on-going assessment and support of individual child
and family needs. The content of these files includes: immunization
records, medical information, custodial arrangements, permission
and release information, Home-Center Agreement, ECCD-CIS and
copies of all enrollment documents and accident reports.
 Classroom teacher or Child Development Worker from your child’s
current CDC also have access to these files by request in order to
meet individual children’s medical needs and to honor Permission
and Release or custodial information given by parents. This
information is reviewed annually at the onset of each new school
year as well as at parent conferences as necessary.
 Individual child assessment data is collected routinely and shared
with parents at two annual parent conferences and by request. The
CDC will only refer children for further developmental screening or
for support services with the consent of the enrolling parent.
CLASSROOM FILES

 The teaching staff of your child’s current classroom (and future

classroom during enrollment transitions) maintains records for the
purposes of assessing your child’s individual development and
engagement as a member of the classroom. Both the teaching staff
and MSWDO staff have access to assessment records for the
purposes of assessing and supporting individual child and family
needs. Assessment data collected in a child’s Portfolio includes: a
parent reported ASQ annually, parent conference records, and
curriculum maps and their supporting documentation including
individual work samples and photographs.

  Individual child assessment data is collected routinely and shared
with parents at two annual parent conferences and by request. The
CDC will only refer children for further developmental screening or
for support services with the consent of the enrolling parent.
INCIDENT/ACCIDENT REPORTS

 The CDW gives first aid to the injured child and if needed to bring to
the doctor immediately.
 CDW should immediately inform the parents of any first aid
administered to the child.
 If injury or illness that requires medical attention, CDW must inform
the parents as soon as possible.
 Should your child be involved in an incident/accident during the
course of the school day, a CDW will complete an Incident/Accident
Report.
 The Incident/Accident Report will be placed in the child’s classroom
folder.
 If you wish to have an in-depth discussion or meeting with your
teacher regarding an Incident/Accident Report, we ask that you
schedule a specific time frame with your teacher. Parents or persons
designated to act “in loco parentis” are required to sign any
Incident/Accident reports from the day at pick-up. The classroom
teacher will be able to discuss the matter with you at pick-up.

CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT

 CDW should refer any child suspected or reported to be victim of

child abuse and neglect to the CSWDO or to the nearest authority.
 The CDW of the Child Development Center are not required to
discuss their suspicions with parents prior to reporting the matter to
the appropriate authorities, nor are they required to investigate the
cause of any suspicious marks, behavior, or condition prior to
making a report.
 Causes for reporting suspected child abuse or neglect include, but
are not limited to:
• Unusual bruising, marks, or cuts on the child’s body
• Severe verbal reprimands
• Improper clothing relating to size, cleanliness, season
• Transporting a child without appropriate child restraints (e.g.
car seats, seat belts, etc.)
• Dropping off or picking up a child while under the influence of
illegal drugs or alcohol
• Not providing appropriate meals including a drink for your child
• Leaving a child unattended for any amount of time
• Failure to attend to the special needs of a disabled child
• Sending a sick child to school who is medicated to hide
symptoms, which would typically require the child to be kept at
home until symptoms subside.

Page 10 of 22
 • Children who exhibit behavior consistent with an abusive
situation

PARENT CODE OF CONDUCT

 The Child Development Center requires the parents of enrolled

children to behave with decency, courtesy, and respect at all times.
One of the goals of our center is to provide the most appropriate
environment in which a child can grow, learn, and develop.
Achieving this ideal environment is not only the responsibility of the
CDW of the Child Development Center, but also the responsibility of
each parent or adult who enters the center. Parents who violate the
Parent Code of Conduct will not be permitted on CDC property
thereafter.
 Threatening of Staff, Parents, or Children Threats of any kind will not
be tolerated. All threats will be reported to the appropriate
authorities and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
While apologies for such behavior are appreciated, the CDC will not
assume the risk of a second chance. PARENTS MUST BE
RESPONSIBLE FOR AND IN CONTROL OF THEIR BEHAVIOR AT
ALL TIMES.
 Physical/Verbal Punishment of Your Children or Other Children While
in the Child Development Center does not necessarily support nor
condone corporal punishment of children, such acts are not
permitted in the CDC. While verbal reprimands may be appropriate,
it is not appropriate for parents to verbally abuse their child. Doing
so may cause undue embarrassment or emotional distress. Parents
are always welcome to discuss a behavior issue with the teacher and
to seek advice and guidance regarding appropriate and effective
disciplinary procedures. Parents are prohibited from addressing, for
the purpose of correction or discipline, a child that is not their own.
No parent or other adult may physically punish another parent’s
child.
 Quarreling with Other Parents or Staff While it is understood that
parents will not always agree with CDW or the parents of the other
children, it is expected that all disagreements be handled in a calm
and respectful manner. Confrontational interactions are not an
appropriate means by which to communicate a point and are strictly
prohibited.
 Policy for Handling Parent Concerns If a parent has a concern,
he/she should first discuss it with the lead teacher of the child’s
class. If the lead teacher and parent cannot resolve the concern
together and to the satisfaction of both, the matter should be
brought to the attention of the ECCD Focal Person. A three-way
conference may be arranged at this time. If a resolution is not
reached, the matter will then be brought to the attention of the
MSWD officer.
 Violations of the Confidentiality Policy the Child Development Center
takes very seriously the responsibility of maintaining the
confidentiality of all persons associated with the CDC. Parents need
to recognize that the Confidentiality Policy not only applies to their

Page 11 of 22
 child or family, but all children, families, and employees associated
with The Child Development Center. Any parent who shares any
information considered to be confidential, pressures employees or
other parents for information which is not necessary for them to
know, will be considered to be in violation of the Confidentiality
Policy and could be dismissed from the school.
 Furthermore, it is wholly inappropriate and not allowed for one
parent to seek out another parent or parents to discuss his or her or
any other child’s supposed inappropriate behavior. This includes
emails or any other notifications. All behavior concerns should be
brought to the CDW’s attention. At that point, the teacher and/or
social worker will address the issue with the other parent. Although
you may be curious as to the outcome of such a discussion, teachers
and/or the MSWDO staff are strictly prohibited from discussing
anything about another child with you. All children enrolled in our
school have privacy rights and are further protected by our
confidentiality policy.

HANDLING OF DISCLOSURES

 The CDW role is not to investigate or verify the situation, but rather
to make the report and set in motion the process of getting help for
the child.
 Report the case to CSWDO either oral or written.

CONFIDENTIALITY

 Confidential and sensitive information pertaining to individual

children will only be shared with employees of the child development
center on a “need to know” basis in order to safely and appropriately
care for each child.
 Confidential and sensitive information about faculty, other parents,
and/or children will not be shared with parents, as the child
development center strives to protect everyone’s right of privacy.
 Confidential information includes but is not limited to names,
addresses, phone numbers, employment concerns, disability
information, and hiv/aids status or other health related information
of anyone associated with the child development center.
 Outside of the child development center, confidential and sensitive
information about a child will only be shared when the parent of the
child has given express written consent, except where otherwise
provided for by law.
 You may observe children at our center who have special needs or
who exhibit behavior that may appear inappropriate (i.e. biting,
hitting, and spitting). You may be curious or concerned about the
other child, but we will not share information and parents are not
allowed to discuss any child through private email or group forums.
This type of conversation will not be tolerated and could result in the
family’s dismissal from the school. Our confidentiality policy protects
every child’s privacy.

CHILD’S BEHAVIOR MANAGEMENT POLICY

Page 12 of 22
  CDW is not allowed to impose corporal punishment to child whose
act is not manageable.
 CDW will inform the parents immediately about the behavior of the
child and talk about it on how to help the child correct his/her
behavior.
 Saying bad words is not encouraged.
 The staff assist and encourage cooperation and responsible
behaviors among children. The staff encourage children to delve into
activities, share experiences, ideas and feelings and assist them in
dealing with their emotions such as anger, sadness and frustrations
by comforting and helping them to solve their problems.
 The staff meaningful interact and talk with young children using their
mother tongue and are responsive to their individual and special
needs, temperaments, learning styles and interests.

FIELD TRIP POLICY

 All preschoolers who participate in a school trip must provide signed

parental consent forms to participate.
 A preschooler who fails to provide a signed consent form may be
denied participation in the trip.
 Parents/guardian must be present during the field trip and liable to
the child’s welfare.
 Field trip is within the community/ barangay ONLY

WITHDRAWAL AND TRANSFER

The procedure for withdrawal or transfer is as follows:

 The parent or legal guardian should visit the CDC to authorize

withdrawal or transfer. This visit should be scheduled at least one (1)
day prior to withdrawal, if possible.
 Each CDW should complete the transfer form.
 The completed transfer form should be returned to the counselor.
EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS

 Fire and other emergency drills are conducted every month of March
to evaluate Center’s preparedness.
PARENT RIGHTS

 Custodial parents have a legal right to review and access

information in any of their children’s files with the exception of any
reports made by teaching staff as mandatory reporters in the State
of Oregon or any items outlined in legal records that are provided to
the CDC by any custodial party.
EMERGENCY CLOSING AND INCLEMENT WEATHER

 In the event of an emergency closing and/or inclement weather,

parents will be notified of the closing by the inclement weather
message on the CDW and parents group chat or a text message.


Page 13 of 22
  Should the CDC need to close in the middle of the day, the CDW will
attempt to reach the child’s parents first to arrange for pick up.
Should the staff be unable to reach the parents, the persons listed
on the Admission Information form will be called until pick up
arrangements can be made. Staff will notify the parents or
emergency contact person, at the time of the call, of the pick-up
location should the children need to be evacuated from the center.
Parents or emergency contact persons should report directly to the
alternate location if one is indicated.

CHILD ASSESSMENTS / PARENT-TEACHER CONFERENCES /

COMMUNICATION

 It is important to us that all children are part of an ongoing

developmental assessment. Our teachers have been trained to use
our assessment procedures and interpret results. The details of our
process are outlined below.
• Instruments We Use: We utilize Teaching Strategies GOLD,
an authentic observation-based assessment system for children
from birth through age pre k.

• Procedures: We use only “authentic assessment,” the

process of documenting and evaluating growth and development,
over time, using real-life situations. We do not test children in
artificial settings. Assessment is a fluid and continual process, and
teachers observe and document the children’s progress on a
continual basis.

• Use of Results: Assessment results are used for describing

the developmental progress and learning of children, improving
curriculum and adapting teaching practices and the environment,
identifying children’s interests and needs, planning program
improvement, communicating with families, and arranging for
developmental screening and referral for diagnostic assessment
when indicated.

• Confidentiality: Our staff members keep assessment

information confidential. We do not share any information with other
families. We ask that families not request information regarding
other children’s development, special needs, or behavior.

• Parent/Teacher Conferences: Basic assessment information

is shared with the parents twice a year during conferences. Teachers
and parents collaborate on goals and plans for the individual child’s
learning and continued assessment in accordance with each family’s
values, culture, identity, and home language.

PARENT PARTICIPATION / VOLUNTEERS

Page 14 of 22
  Parents are invited and encouraged to be involved in their child’s
school activities.
 Parents can participate and volunteer at the center in many different
ways. Parents may volunteer to attend field trips, read in the
classroom, assist teachers, and/or coordinate special events.
 Teachers will often have a volunteer opportunity form or Home-
Center Agreement available to be filled out at the Open House.
Parents not interested in volunteering directly in the classroom may
donate items or assist with maintenance work.
 At the CDC, we encourage parent involvement. One important way
to contribute is to be a room parent. Room parents play a huge role
in coordinating these elements. Room parents typically coordinate
teacher appreciation efforts for birthdays, holidays, and end-of-year
celebrations. Room parents can also encourage other parents to get
involved by recruiting help or helping the teacher plan for parent
story reading, helping plan for pet care, and making sure the
teacher has help with special projects the children are working on.
SMOKE FREE CENTER

 Smoking is prohibited anywhere on the CDC property. Parents are

prohibited from smoking in the building, and or within the center’s
premises.

CENTER POLICY FOR CHILD’S HEALTH AND CARE

CARE OF A SICK CHILD

 Mildly ill children, including but not limited to meeting individual

needs for food, drink, rest, and comfort.
 Sick children manifesting fever and rash shall be isolated from the
rest of the learners and immediately send home.
 The center staff refer the sick child to the nearest health
facility for further assessment and urgent care, if needed while
waiting to be fetched by his/her parent.
 In the process, the center staffs notify the parents immediately.
 The center staffs obtain from the parent the information of the
child’s medical condition upon assessment of a physician.

INFECTIOUS DISEASES

 The center has exclusion policies for serious illness and contagious
diseases like colds, cough, flu, mumps, measles, etc. conformance
with regulations and recommendations of the Department of Health.
 The CDW immediately notifies when any communicable disease shall
be sent home and will not be permitted to associate with other
children until seen qualified by a medical practitioner, the center
staff may refer the sick child to the nearest health center/health
facility for further assessment and urgent care if needed while
waiting to be fetched his/her parent.
 The center staff who become ill with contagious disease are excused
from contact with children as quickly as possible.

Page 15 of 22
  Parents must present a medical certificate/clearance from a
public/private physician upon return of the children to the CDW
ADMINISTRATION OF MEDICINE
 At the CDC, we can only administer prescription medication. Over
the counter medications that may temporarily mask the signs of an
illness or that support your child’s comfort while working through
symptoms of common illness cannot be administered by the CDW or
staff.
 All medication brought to the school must be in the original
prescription container labeled with the child's name, doctor,
medicine name, dosage, and current date.
 Parents/guardians much complete a Request to Administer
Medication form, available in the classroom. A signature from a
parent/guardian is required each day the medicine is to be given to
the child. Information provided on the form must be consistent with
the written prescription guidelines on the original container. Parents
can expect that the form will be signed by the staff who
administered the medication.
 It is a licensing requirement that no medication is stored where it is
accessible to children. We are required to secure any medication
brought to the Center in a locked box in each classroom at all times.
Please partner with us and give all medications directly to center
staff to ensure that no medication is left in your child’s cubby,
backpack or other space that is easily accessible to children.
 The Center will not administer non-prescription medicines
(Tylenol, cough medicine, etc.) unless prescribed by a doctor
(doctor's note needed). The Center will not administer vitamins or
fluoride to children.
IMMUNIZATION RECORD

 CDW encourages every child enrolled to have a completed and up to

date Immunization Record on file in the nearest health center at all
times. As a parent/legal guardian, your partnership in meeting the
requirements is critical to ensure your child’s on-going enrollment in
the center.
 Newly enrolling families must submit a completed Immunization
Card at the time of enrollment. The Immunization Record is
considered a legal document and therefore the CDC observes the
policy that updates can be completed only by a parent/legal
guardian with their signature and date. No CDC staff member can
assume the liability for updating the record.

CARE FOR MALNOURISHED CHILDREN AND WITH SPECIAL NEEDS

 The center ensure that all appropriate actions will be taken so that
health and nutrition requirements of young children including those
with special needs and/ or disabilities are met.
 Assigned parents to take extra time for malnourished and with
special needs will give attention to those children especially during
feeding time.

Page 16 of 22
  Parents are also provided with appropriate information and
education on how to best contribute in addressing cases of
underweight, stunting and wasting
SNACKS AND MEALS
 Children must have a healthy complete breakfast before coming to
CDC.
 Each child must bring snacks to help "refuel" him/her and are not a
substitute for a complete meal.
 The following foods are prohibited in the CDC:
 Candies
 Junk Foods
 Tetra pack juices
 Coffee
 Bubble gum
 Chocolates
 During Supplementary Feeding Program, a menu must be approved
by a nutritionist. The menu must be posted in the kitchen area.
 When reviewing the menu, parents are asked to work closely with
their child’s classroom team to define any known allergies of food
preferences. In the case where your child can not eat a menu item,
parents are required to bring a like substitute for the food.

POLICY CHANGES
 The CDC reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to change any
policies through written communication with families. The CDC
utilizes text message and e-mail as the prime form of
communication. It is the parent’s responsibility to ensure we have an
up-to-date e-mail address and Cellphone number on file at all times.
 In the event of a policy change, families will be notified. Any such
action shall apply to existing as well as to future families.

Teaching strategies to Implement NELCE

1) Acknowledge what children do and say.

2) Encourage perseverance and effort rather than just praising and
evaluating what the child has done.
3) Give specific feedback rather than general comments.
4) Model attitude, ways of approaching problems and behavior
towards others showing children rather than just telling them.
5) Demonstrate the correct way to do something.
6) Create or add challenges so that the task goes bit beyond what
the children can already do.
7) Ask question that provokes children thinking.
8) Give assistance (such as a cue or hint) to help children work on
the edge of their current competence.
9) Provide information directly giving children facts, verbal labels
and other information.
10) Give directions for children’s actions and
behavior.

The Role Play

Knowledge of the world” (Hoster,1995)

Play is a child work (Maria Montesori )

Which promotes the process of play is essential to the full& healthy
development of children. It is a form
Of learning which is largely ignored and
Unrecognized” ( Heseltine and Holborn1987)

Play is the central to development of the

Children from learning about colors, gross and the
fine motor skills, to roles and relationships.

It is through play that children are able to test out

Theories, take risk and develop new.

JUST PLAYING

When I’m building in the block area

Please don’t say I’m” just playing”
For you see, I’m learning as I play.
Bout balance, I may be an architect someday.

When I getting all dressed-up

Setting the table, caring for babies,
Don’t get the idea I’m” just playing”,
I may be a mother or a father someday.

When you see me up to my elbows in paint

Or standing at an easel or molding and chapping clay
Please don’t let me hear you say He is” just playing”.
For you see I’m learning as I play
I just might be a teacher someday

When you see me engrossed in puzzle or some “playing” at my

school,
Please don’t feel the time is wasted in “play”
I’m learning to follow to solve problems and concentrate
I may be in a business someday.

 When you see me cooking or tasting foods
Please don’t think that because I enjoy it, it is” just play”
I’m learning to follow directions and see differences,
I may be a cook someday.

When you see me skip, hop, run and move my body

Please don’t say I’m just “playing”
For you see, I’m learning how my body works
I may be a Doctor, Nurse or Athletes someday.

When you ask me what I’ve done at school today,

And I say “I just played”
Please don’t misunderstand me
For you see I’m learning as I play
I’m learning to enjoy and be successful in my work.
