It aims to enhance the quality and coverage of essential health nutrition, psychological development and early education services for children aged zero to six (De Leon, 2008). Our government has established the Republic Act No. 8980 which is known as the Early Childhood Care Development Act. This promulgated a comprehensive policy and a national system for early childhood care and development providing funds therefore and for other purposes including also day care services established under Republic Act 6972 which requires all government units to establish a day care center in every village. This institutionalized center-based programs of both

    public and private preschools, workplace related childcare and education programs, child minding centers, church-based early education programs (ECCD Act of 2000).

    Existing ECCD in Davao City

    As of April 11, 2011 there is a total of 6,671 children enrolled in the Department of

    Education school based pre-school, 11,981 are enrolled in private preschools. In 2009,

    the number of day care centers increased to 560 from 511 in 2007 and 541 in 2008. The

    number of daycare workers also increased to 622 in 2009 from 541 in 2007 & 605 in 2008.

    There is no significant increase in the average number of enrollees per shift/class from 2008

    (edgedavao.net,2011).

    Of the total served in Davao City 18,100 or 40% are catered in early childhood care by

    The Department of Education in both public and private schools.

    As to physical facilities, quality resources and environment there is a specific

    requirement and conditions which include space and a safe, stimulating environment. A

    minimum of 20 and maximum of 25 students per class shall be handled by permanent kinder teachers. The National Kindergarten Curriculum Guide of 2011 as well as the eight-week

    Kindergarten Summer Program are aimed at ensuring that incoming Grade 1 are equipped with

    The experiences and skills that will prepare them for their next level of academic work.

    Addressing the major gaps are what this research is all about. The early childhood

    education program for 0-2 remain a major gap, the limited participation/low level of

    participation of parents in ECCD, how multi-sectoral partnerships can be achieved, what needs

    to be done to operationalize quality, integrated ECCD.
