Recognizing the need for continued interaction among students, Childlink Learning Center and Highschool Inc. continues to hold activities for their students.
One of the activities is the First Virtual Childlink Family Day, a fun event for their students and parents with the theme ‘Linkers, the Game Changers’
Through the Virtual Family Day, Childlink aims to show everyone that despite the pandemic, the activities for students should continue, said Childlink founder and school directress Maria Theresa Tio. “Hopefully, it helps students to be motivated and engaged through the activities so that they continue to do well in online school,” Ms. Tio explained.
School director, Maria Theresa Tio welcomed all participants of the Virtual Family Day with the message calling for cooperation and support for all school undertakings as well as well wishes for good health and well- being.
PTA President, Mrs. Kristine Borja welcomed and thanked all participants to the Virtual Family Day. She gave her message of appreciation to the Student Council officers, to the teachers and to all parents for the holding of the event that allows all to connect and enjoy each other’s company.
The Childlink Student Council led the activities. “It’s really a learning experience for them because even during the planning stage, council officers and members were very enthusiastic. They collaborated with the admin staff and teachers assigned with specific tasks. They were mostly involved in program preparation and they conceptualized the games,” she said.

Ms. Tio also disclosed that Childlink is now accepting students from different areas outside Cebu for their online classes.
Aside from online classes, Childlink also offers the Home School Program. The program offers academic flexibility since it enables the parents to choose the pace and approach for their children’s modules. This is also an option for those living in areas with poor or unstable internet connection.
Childlink’s learning modules are appropriate for each student. The students are also given the opportunity to join online classes.
The school also offers After School Care Program, Daily tutorial classes for English and Special Education tutorial for students in preparation for mainstream classes.
