Abstract:

With the sweeping change of time, the goal of education caters to the development of not only the tertiary level, secondary and elementary levels but to the preschoolers in their formation years. The enactment of Basic Education Act of 2001 provides that the general goal of basic education is to develop the Filipino learners by providing them basic competencies in literacy and numeracy towards acquiring critical thinking and learning skills and developing desirable values to become caring, self-reliant, productive, patriotic and socially aware, and responsible citizens. In line with what is mandated in the Basic Education Act of 2001, a House Bill 3826 was enacted by the Senate and the House of Representatives of the Philippines, institutionalizing the Kindergarten Education into the Basic Education system appropriating funds thereof and such is now known as the Kindergarten Education. The fact that kindergarten education is now institutionalized, it is necessary that the educational system especially the teachers should look into the curriculum, its content the knowledge and skill in the delivery of services to its constituents.
