The day starts with a burst of energy at a barangay child development center (CDC)—children laughing, playing and learning, each with their unique needs and potential. Whether it’s a child racing across the room, a little one needing a napor a curious mind eager to draw their first circle, these moments capture the magic of early childhood development (ECD). It’s not just about teaching the ABCs or numbers, it’s about nurturing the whole child. For the energetic runner, it’s about channeling that enthusiasm into discovery. For the sleepy one, it’s about understanding the importance of rest amidst a day full of learning. And for the budding artist, it’s about encouraging creativity and critical thinking.
As we celebrate our teachers and their crucial role in nurturing not just productive individuals but also in building our country’s future, Knowledge Channel Foundation Inc. (KCFI) focuses the spotlight on the child development workers and child development teachers (CDW/ Ts) who teach the youngest children in public preschools or barangay child development centers.

As we celebrate Buwan ng Wika this August, we are reminded how language shapes our identities, culture and understanding. In the Philippines, we are blessed with a rich tapestry of languages, including 185 regional languages. Proficiency is essential, and at the Knowledge Channel Foundation Inc. (KCFI), we are committed to enhancing language skills among Filipino learners.
July is National Nutrition Month, a fitting time to raise awareness about the critical role of nutrition in education and a child’s holistic development. This year marks the 50th Nutrition Month, observed since 1974 by virtue of Presidential Decree 491 or the Nutrition Act of the Philippines.
