MESSAGE OF SUPPORT
In providing quality education among all Filipino children, Save the Children remains
committed in its partnership and support to the Department of Education. The
enhanced Kindergarten Teacher’s Guide is a testament to this, laying the foundation
for pre -school education through up-to-date, innovative, and successful evidence-
based instructional strategies and classroom activities.
The Kindergarten Teacher’s Guide is aligned with the Department of Education

directions and priorities, putting premium on quality, accessible, relevant and
liberating basic education for all. It is also in accordance to the Sustainable
Development Goal of highlighting quality education services. Likewise, Save the
Children advocates focus and prioritization for the early years of child
development, from a child’s first 1,000 days into the world, initial education
experiences, to the completion of schooling.
Building on the initial achievements of the National Kindergarten Curriculum Guide,

the enhanced Kindergarten Teacher’s Guide aims to make learning fun, fair, and
inclusive to all learners and teachers. With the learner competencies and domains
appropriately distributed for the entire school year, this guide features play-based,
context-specific, and developmentally appropriate activities that tap into the
children’s background and experiences. Teachers are provided with a structure,
lesson exemplars and a collection of games, songs and activities, while providing
further opportunities for creativity, innovation and contextualization.
Thus, we are optimistic that this guide will help kindergarten teachers nationwide
to support the Filipino kindergarteners’ holistic growth and development.
