Early Childhood Care and Development (ECCD) programs in the Philippines aim to promote the holistic growth and development of children aged 0-6. These programs address threats like malnutrition, lack of immunization, and developmental delays that affect many Filipino children. The legal basis for ECCD includes the ECCD Act of 2000 and Early Years Act of 2013. The national ECCD system incorporates center-based, home-based, and community-based programs delivered by both public and private service providers.
