English: The lack of access to child development centers (CDCs) is one of the reasons families do not enroll their children in Early Childhood Care and Development (ECCD) programs. Despite the mandate of the Barangay-Level Total Development and Protection of Children Act (Republic Act 6972) to construct a daycare center in every barangay, there are still no CDCs in 5,822 barangays.
Filipino: Isa sa mga dahilan kung bakit hindi nakikilahok ang mga pamilya sa Early Childhood Care and Development (ECCD) programs ay ang kakulangan sa child development centers (CDCs). Bagama't mandato ng Barangay-Level Total Development and Protection of Children Act (Republic Act 6972) ang pagpapatayo ng daycare center sa bawat barangay, wala pa ring mga CDC sa 5,822 na mga barangay sa bansa.
