Since the center-based child care service was not sufficient to meet the all-round development of the children in the country, community based child care and development service was initiated in 2007. In collaboration with UNICEF(Myanmar), the department started operating community based mother circles for all-round development of the children under the age of three.

Now there are (190) mother circles in (19) townshipsin Regions and States respectively. The trainings on toy making with local materials were conducted in the townships where mother circle projects are being carried out. Due to these trainings, community awareness on father and community involvement is also enhanced for all round development of children.
