Education must start young, even for the urban poor, which is why QC's 201daycare centers, with supplement feeding stations make sure that the very young are given a good start in life.  The QC government aim is to provide enough free daycare facilities for up to 30% of QC's three to four year old population.  Improvements are currently being done to upgrade some of the these facilities and make them even more child-friendly.

                At present the QC government is providing free tuition fee for kindergarten classes offered in some public schools.  Formerly, tuition fees of Php 100 a month per pupil were asked.  The City School Board has allotted Php 11.52 million for the payment of the honorarium of Php 2000 a month per teacher in these classes.
