Building Proficiency (Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education)

In Kindergarten to Grade 3, the child's dominant language is used as the language of

learning.

Filipino and English language proficiency is developed from Kindergarten to Grade 3 but
very gradually.

Mother Tongue is used in instruction and learning materials of other learning areas.

The learners retain their ethnic identity, culture, heritage and values.

Children learn better and are more active in class and learn a second language even
faster when they are first taught in a language they understand.
