KCFI recognizes the importance of CDW/Ts in nurturing our youth by producing shows for ECD and conducting K-CARE training programsAs 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.

Despite early childhood development (ECD) having a major impact on a child’s development, capacity to learn, adapt and flourish in life according to UNICEF, CDW/Ts lack the support, training and credentials and resources to properly nurture, teach and guide these young learners.

Knowledge Channel TV (KC TV) and Knowledge Channel Portable Media Library (KC PML) for ECD boasts hundreds of video resources for CDW/Ts, their learners, parents and other care providers. Among the titles in KC PML-ECD are “Musikantahan,” “Kwentoons,” “ATBP” and “Kuwentong Pambata.” For parents, KCFI videos include “I Love You 1000” and “Dok Ricky, Pedia.”

KCFI also offers a three-day capacity development program called K-CARE. This equips CDW/Ts with knowledge, skills, strategies and tools so they can better engage their learners.

KCFI invites CDW/Ts to a two-day online child development workers’ and teachers’ conference on Sept. 27 and Oct. 4, which will highlight the Nurturing Care Framework, a thorough plan to improve the outcomes of early childhood, the importance of proper nutrition and having a safe environment for children. The conference will also discuss the effective and impactful use of Knowledge Channel video lessons for ECD as tools for daily child development center routines. Aside from Knowledge Channel resource persons, early childhood specialists from Miriam College, UP Department of Family Life and Child Development and UNICEF Philippines will be key discussants.

Let us help our CDW/Ts deliver better learning experiences this National Teachers’ Month by gifting them a KC TV or KC PML for ECD package. Donate to Knowledge Channel Foundation Inc.
