He said that from the moment the child enters day care, a “mix-up” of involvement of both the parents and teachers should be present especially in molding the children into becoming disciplined and worthy members of the community.

Their district, she added, has now 27 day care teachers serving their day care centers. Also present in the same occasion were Cesar Ventures, designated as chief of staff of City Vice Mayor Diego Rivera, and the barangay officials of said villages. The activity aims to promote camaraderie among daycare parents and teachers in the Day Care Service, as well as, a strategy to advocate and promote women empowerment and leadership.
