Inclusion is strengthened when we work together. 🤝
At Polikids, we believe that meaningful inclusion begins with collaboration—bringing together educators, professionals, families, communities, and advocates toward one shared goal: a community where every child is seen, supported, and given the opportunity to thrive.
We are honored that our Directress, Ma’am Cherie Ann C. Policarpio, is part of the core group that supported and contributed to the development of the proposed “Bawat Bata Kasama” Ordinance of Santa Maria, Bulacan.
She also participated in the Committee Hearing, sharing her insights, helping provide clarity, and lending her support to help move this important advocacy forward.
We are grateful for the opportunity to be part of this meaningful initiative for inclusion, accessibility, and equal opportunities for every child.
Together, we move closer to a more inclusive Santa Maria—where every child truly belongs. 👧🏻👦🏻
