Bayog, Zamboanga del Sur, June 2 (PIA) -- The local government unit of Bayog celebrated Day Care Workers Week on May 28 to June 1 at the LGU’s Government Center with the theme “Day Care Worker: Kaagapay sa Pagpapaunlad ng Bata Tungo sa Tuwid na Daan.”

The event was participated by 35 day care workers of the municipality and was facilitated by the Municipal Social Welfare and Development Office (MSWDO), headed by Social Welfare and Development Officer Conchita Sucaldito together with Marilyn Un, day care worker.

Mayor Leonardo Babasa, Jr., in his message said, “it is important to develop the skills of the day care workers in handling little children since they are considered as parent’s partners in providing early education to children, as well as molding their characters.”

Activities conducted during the week-long celebration are poster making contest (May 28-29, 2012), week pack making (May 30-31) and checklist and Child Monitoring Sheet orientation (June 1).

Proclamation No. 404 series of 2003 declared June 7-11 and every year thereafter as National Day Care Workers Week, which aims to give recognition to the significant roles of day care workers especially in providing early education to children.

The local government unit of Bayog decided to celebrate the occasion earlier to give way and be prepared for the opening of classes for School Year 2012-2013. (JPA/BAG/CAL/PIA9)
