The Home-Based ECCD program was developed primarily to support parents as first teachers and to provide alternative programs for children who were not able to attend centre-based programs. Pilot implementation coincided with the COVID-19 pandemic, thus becoming an alternative for learning continuity for young children in the Philippines. The framework for the program was based on previously implemented ECCD programs including the Infant-Toddler Early Development Program and a series of online workshops conducted with Child Development Teachers and Workers.
