BATA Program

The B.A.T.A. (Biyayang Aral, Tanging Alay) Program

Children are the greatest resource of a nation. As adults, we are accountable for the future we build for them. There is hope not only in children, but also in the youth and adult learners. For us who have more, it is our responsibility to provide this pathway of hope by allowing our beneficiaries to see and experience how beautiful life is, and that each one of us deserve a life of purpose as destined by the Lord.

CFCEFI’s pre-school program follows the whole-person and integrated approach, providing children with activities that are based on their interests and level of growth and development. It puts special emphasis on home-school and parent-teacher partnership. It is enriched through curriculum development, teacher training and formation, and parent formation which EFI offers.
