Project title Day Care Center

1.0Introduction
Day-care center provides supervision and care of infants and young children during the
daytime, particularly so that their parents can hold jobs. Such institutions appeared in
France about 1840, and the Socit des Crches was recognized by the French
government in 1869. Day-care centres were established in most European cities and
industrial centres during the second half of the 19th century; the first in Great Britain, for
example, was established in 1860. In the United States, the terms day nursery, day- or childcare centre, and nursery school are often used interchangeably to identify various types of
day care for children and for preschool educational programs.
The Child Care space types, described herein, are the facilities required for child care
services permitted within federal facilities. Child Care space types include all space subtypes, including toilets, food preparation and service, office space, and meeting
space, as well as security features required in compliance with codes and regulations.

2.0Objectives of the study

following the developmentally appropriate guidelines established by the National
Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and Early Years Act
(EYA) of 2013

providing a healthy, safe and secure environment for children;

encouraging each child in his/her developmental growth by providing an

environment that encourages learning through action, inquiry and
exploration;

assisting each child to gain better control and understanding of his/her body
through interaction with the environment, materials, and equipment;

helping each child develop language skills which will enable expression of
thoughts and feelings as well as an opportunity to increase knowledge;

promoting a good self image in each child by providing an environment that

encourages independence, decision making, and problem solving;

fostering an appreciation for the ethnic and cultural diversity of its families
and its community; discrimination, in any form, will not be tolerated; and

promoting a cooperative, informative, and respectful relationship with

families.
Almost every community needs a preschool or day-care center, with both
parents usually working now; there is a growing need for these establishments.
Besides this, children who enter formal schooling are expected to already have
some knowledge and so preschool has now become a necessity.
4.0Scope and limitation
A preschool or day care center is mainly established to help in the values
formation and socialization of children aged 3 to 6 years old. The facility is
intended for parents to prepare their children for grade school.

As the population increases, the preschool education also steadily boomed and
has become a profitable venture in the Philippines. The parents awareness for
the need to enrol their children in the centers has in fact been a reason for most
of them to save money for the purpose.

Example Program

The following building program is representative of Child Care center space types
and is based on the ratios prescribed in the PBS-140 Child Care Center
Design Guide. The center described below included provisions for 86 children.

On November 23, 1990, The Government of the Philippines
approved Republic Act No. 6972 which calls for the establishment
of a day care center in every barangay and of the Total
Development and Protection of Children Program. The Act directs
the government to defend the children's right to proper care and
nutrition and to protect them from neglect, abuse, cruelty,
exploitation, and other conditions detrimental to development.
The national budget appropriates funds for the creation,
maintenance, and operation of barangay day care centers.
Parents must consent to sending their <6-year old children to the
day care centers unless a child has been abused, neglected, or
exploited. The barangay is the implementing agency. Day care
centers shall monitor birth registration, completion of
immunization series, growth, and nutrition and provide
supplementary nutritional food. Staf at the centers shall not
receive <500 pesos/month. They either care for or arrange
comparable care for children of working mothers whether the
mothers work during the day or night. The Department of Social

Welfare and Development shall provide adequate supervision of

the centers, network of homes, and private caretakers including
paid domestics, elderly relatives, or older children. Surrogate
mothers-teachers shall provide intellectual and mental stimulation
and supervised wholesome recreation. An institution in each
barangay and/or a network of homes shall serve as a sanctuary
for abused, neglected, or exploited children. Each day care center
shall also act as a referral and support system for pregnant
mothers for prenatal and neonatal care and for delivery. It also
needs to be aware of illegal abortions and inept and untrained
traditional birth attendants. The program must develop a support
system and network of assistance from barangay members to
develop and protect children.
