Childcare monitoring and services took a leap forward as the Ministry of Human Services and Social Security (MoHSSS), in partnership with UNICEF Guyana and with funds from the Canadian government, recently concluded an Early Childhood Development (ECD) capacity building session with Registration and Licensing Officers (RLOs), Child Protection Officers (CPOs), and Primary Caregivers countrywide, a UNICEF release stated recently.
It also informed that the training which lasted a week, included sessions on Early Childhood Development Practices, Schedules and Routines for Childcare settings, analyzing diverse facility scenarios, Registration and Licensing Officers Portfolios and Assessments, and the importance of play in the early years.
Further, the Caregivers along with the RLOs and CPOs were also engaged in a one-day training on the effective use of the 100 early childhood development kits that were donated sometime last year.
