The Down Syndrome Foundation R.O.C. operates infant and toddler childcare services with the goal of creating a “second home” for children. Within an atmosphere of respect, acceptance, inclusion, enthusiasm, and love, the program provides guidance tailored to each child’s individual needs. It fulfills their basic physical requirements while emphasizing mental health development, character building, curiosity stimulation, observational skills, and patience cultivation. This approach promotes the healthy and holistic development of each child’s personality. The Foundation also aims to help parents better understand Down syndrome through its supportive childcare services, fostering a nurturing environment of love, respect, and joy.

With the goals of “normalizing teaching,” “respecting children,” and “promoting individualized development,” the program starts with each child’s unique interests and centers on their life experiences. It emphasizes local resources to foster a connection with nature and an early awareness of environmental protection. Through an integrated, “thematic teaching” approach, the program weaves educational and care activities into a comprehensive curriculum, replacing rigid, single-subject teaching methods. Grounded in the philosophy of education rooted in love, the program enhances children’s understanding of diverse cultures and encourages respect for individual differences.
